Is This Trip for Me?

Have you ever dreamt of sleeping in a bird nest? You will be able to cross that from your bucket list while staying at the charming Chisa Camp, in Kafue’s Busanga region. Experience Kafue National Park, Zambia’s largest and oldest national park, and is quite possibly one of Africa’s last great expanses of well-protected remote and pristine wilderness. Then hop to Livingstone at the wonderful Tongabezi to experience the Victoria Falls while enjoying staying by the river edge.

Your 6-Day Itinerary

Arrive at Lusaka airport on time for the scheduled charter flight to Busanga Plains. Depending on your time of arrival, you might require a pre-night in Lusaka, contact us for some options. On arrival in Busanga, meet with your safari guide and transfer to Chisa Camp via a meandering game drive.

Welcome to paradise, with your own bird nest! your stay includes all your meals, selected beverages and shared morning & afternoon game drive. To stretch your legs, you can also hop on an e-bike for a guided trail.

Red lechwe leaping across shallow wetlands, lions hunting in golden grasses, and elephants emerging out of morning mist – this is the Busanga Plains experience. Found in the northern region of Zambia’s Kafue National Park, this remote wilderness is distinct from the miombo woodlands of the park. Instead, flat grassland dambos are dotted with date palms and sausage and fig trees. As the flood waters recede over June to November, the Busanga Plains become accessible for safaris characterised by outstanding game-viewing, predator action and colourful birdlife.

Cool off in the pool during the hottest parts of the day and look out for an elephant or puku that just may be passing by.

This was a holiday of 3 attempts.

Matthys clearly extremely knowledgable, and from experience, about the areas/lodges we visited. The transfers, flights and accommodations were all top notch and nothing went by the wayside.

The trip moved seamlessly from SA, through Kruger, Zimbabwe, 3 Botswana lodges and back to Jo’burg.

Value for money?

Definitely really good quality accommodations and the safari guides were brilliant. We were never crowded into any vehicle we always had plenty of space. The food was amazing and the staff at all establishments were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Nothing was too much trouble and they went far and above than they needed too.

We loved it so much we are planning to come back in 2024 and do the garden route and some different safari experiences. Missed the Rhino but saw all the other top 4 plus 5 puppy wild dogs/5 adults and 3 leopards. Loads of lions and huge amounts of elephant, bison, water buffalo and numerous other animals.
