Shumba Bush Camp – A Holiday with Lions

Wonderfully located in the lush Busanga Plains, the Shumba Bush Camp snugly hides beneath soaring fig trees in the northern part of the Kafue National Park.

Flooding in the rainy season, the Busanga Plains burst out into lush vegetation between June and November, attracting countless animals, which gather around the lagoons and rivers.

The luxurious Shumba Bush Camp features an observation deck that commands a breathtaking view out over the scenic landscape populated by Lechwe and Puku Antelopes as well as both the Crowned and the Wattled Crane.

The comfortable Shumba Camp consists of six luxury safari tents, which are built on wooden platforms under a thatched roof. The maximum number of guests is kept low: No more than twelve guests can enjoy the Shumba’s grace at any one time.

The Shumba Bush Camp is open from July to October, the Zambian winter, which is characterised by mild daytime temperatures and cool evenings and nights. Flooded at other times, the winter is the only season that the Kafue National Park is accessible.

Many fascinating activities let the time fly by. Try catching your dinner fishing the river or just settle down with a sundowner to cherish the evening magic of the Busanga Plains. The bar and dining room are wonderfully comfortable, sporting a rustic flair.

Embrace the inspiring landscape of the Busanga Plains and the wild sounds of the bush at night and push the everyday life out of your mind. Mysterious Zambia – you simply have to experience it!
