THE BUSANGA PLAINS, NORTHERN KAFUE NATIONAL PARK
One of Zambia’s most significant and still largely untouched wetland areas. The Busanga Plains, an integral part of Kafue National Park, offer sweeping palm groves and lagoons carpeted with water lilies — striking landscapes well worth the detour.

Known as the region with the highest density of lions, Busanga is also home to large numbers of lechwe, puku, zebra, buffalo, roan antelope, leopards, cheetahs and African wild dogs, all sharing this territory — not to mention the countless hippos you’re bound to encounter.

Shumba Camp, set on a wooded island at the heart of the Busanga wilderness, draws you in with its atmosphere and exceptional setting, offering uninterrupted views across the plains.

By 4×4, on foot, or by boat, your safaris at Shumba Camp are authentic and exclusive.

For an even more striking perspective, take to the air aboard a hot-air balloon and take in the landscapes stretching to the horizon.

Les plaines de Busanga en montgolfière

Embarquez dans une montgolfière et admirez les paysages uniques du nord de Kafue alors que le soleil commence à culminer sur l'horizon.
Les plaines sont vastes, parsemées d’îles où le terrain est plus ou moins surélevé. Cela permet au pilote de monter et de descendre à son goût, permettant une vue à 360 degrés de la zone environnante, ainsi qu'à quelques centimètres au-dessus des arbres.
