Remote wilderness luxury in the heart of Kafue’s predator-rich plains
Located in the heart of the Busanga Plains, Shumba Camp offers a front-row seat to one of Zambia’s richest wildlife areas. Open seasonally from June to October, the camp is perfectly positioned for observing lion prides, cheetah, and wild dog roaming the vast floodplains. Its elevated wooden decks provide sweeping views and a true sense of remote safari luxury.
Shumba’s six tented suites are spacious and stylish, featuring canopied beds, open-air showers, and lounge areas that overlook the plains. The main area includes a plunge pool, fire deck, and open-plan dining, where guests can gather over sundowners and enjoy the ever-changing landscape. The camp’s intimate size and location offer a front-row experience of the wilderness.
Daily activities include expertly guided game drives and seasonal walking safaris, with frequent predator sightings and a high density of plains game. The Busanga Plains also boast exceptional birding, particularly during the wetter months. Shumba is ideal for seasoned safari-goers and travelers looking to explore one of Africa’s most pristine and untouched ecosystems.
