Shumba Camp is located in the centre of the Busanga Plains, Kafue National Park, Zambia. This seasonal delta system is home to herds of Red Lechwe, Roan and Oribi as well as Zebra, Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest, Defassa Waterbuck and Buffalo.

Due to the presence of a wealth of plains game, predator numbers are also strong with large prides of Lion, Wild Dog packs and lone Cheetah. Occasionally Pangolin and Caracal can also be seen in the Busanga Plains, Kafue National Park, Zambia.

This region is characterised by vast floodplains, broadleaved woodlands, open water and riverine vegetation. The Busanga area is extremely attractive to a huge variety of birds including Wattled Crane, Ross’s Turaco, Schalow’s Turaco and Red Throated Twinspot. Brown Firefinch, Sooty Chat and countless herons amongst large flocks of Open-Billed and Yellow-billed Storks can also be seen.

NOTE:

Shumba Camp is closed seasonally from 01 December to 30 April annually.
