Busanga Bush Camp is located in the Kafue National Park in the remote Zambia. Kafue National Park is about as wilderness as you can get in today's world. It is an unfenced, mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains, wide rivers with tree-choked banks, oxbow lakes or dambos, and glades of thick miombo forest.
For at least 6 months of the year much of the area is inaccessible because of the heavy summer rains that cause swollen rivers and extensive flooding. From the astounding Busanga Plains in the north-western section of Kafue National Park to the tree-choked wilderness and the lush dambos of the south, fed by the emerald green Lunga, Lufupa and Kafue Rivers, Kafue National Park sustains huge herds of diverse African wildlife.
From the thousands of red Lechwe on the Busanga Plains, the ubiquitous Puku, the stately Sable and Roan antelopes in the woodland to the diminutive Oribi and Duiker. The solid-rumped Defassa Waterbuck, herds of Tsessebe, Hartebeest, Zebra and Buffalo make for a full menu of antelope. Large prides of Lion, solitary Leopard and Cheetah are the prime predators. There is a host of smaller carnivores from the side-striped Jackal, Civet, Genet and various Mongoose.
Bird watching - especially on the rivers and the dambos is superb. Notables include the Wattled Crane, Purple Crested Loerie and Pel's Fishing Owl. Over 490 species of birds have been recorded throughout Kafue National Park in Zambia. The Kafue and Lunga Rivers offer good fishing opportunities, especially good Bream, Barbel and fresh water Pike. Most lodges at Kafue National Park have fishing tackle, rods, boats and bait available. Visit Busanga Bush Camp and experience it all.
