Shumba

Kafue National Park is remote but the Busanga Plains are remoter still. Known as the ‘plains of plenty’, they are fed by three river systems that produce plentiful grazing for herds of roan, sable, oribi and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest that, in turn, are grazing for lion, wild dog and cheetah. Nearly 500 bird species are found here including lifers like Fülleborn’s and rosy-throated longclaws.

Shumba is one of a handful of camps in this safari paradise and is named after a pride of lion that hold sway on the plains. Elevated tents give you a good view for game watching from your deck while seasonal boating, game drives and night drives make sure you have plenty of time in the bush.
