Shumba Camp is a classic Wilderness Safaris Camp in Kafue National Park, offering a stylish and elegant safari camp on the Busanga Plains.

Located on a tree island in the centre of the Busanga Plains, Shumba Camp has just six spacious and en-suite luxury tents all with both indoor and outdoor showers, and all on raised wooden platforms.

Along with a bar and dining area, Shumba Camp is shaded by spectacular fig trees and boasts magnificent views over the open wildlife-rich Busanga Plains.

Dinner is served either on the deck or in the cosy boma, along with a little Zambian culture.

The area around the camp is a magnet for a wealth of plains game, lion, wild dog and cheetah.

Meaning ‘lion’, Shumba is aptly named after the two prides of lion resident in this area. The Plains are also home to hundreds of red lechwe, puku, roan and oribi – some of the less common species of antelope.

What’s so Special?

Spot puku, red lechwe and perhaps the ‘local’ rare roan herd on a hot air balloon safari above the Busanga Plains.

Sip Zambian coffee while admiring one of the Busanga Plain’s spectacular pink sunrises. The raised decks at Shumba are particularly advantageous for spotting grazing antelope near the camp.

Bear in Mind

Shumba Bush Camp is open between May and November.

Early in the season (May and June), much of the Busanga Plains may still be covered in water and some of the roads impassable. Shumba Camp has a boat, which can operate in very shallow water, allowing game activities to continue even during this time of year

Getting to Shumba Camp usually involves a flight (about an hour and a half) from either Livingstone or Lusaka, followed by a short helicopter hop to the camp.
