Ntemwa-Busanga Camp

​Ntemwa-Busanga Plains Camp consists of just four thatched chalets (* 5 from 2024) which are accompanied by open-air en-suite bathrooms at the rear, with flushing toilets, plumbed sinks and taps and warm bucket showers. There are two main areas, one a raised deck overlooking the vast Busanga Plains and another a bird hide cum sitting area to recline use in the heat of the day! The main deck supplies power for charging cameras and other devices and has a small bar for refreshments.

The wildlife of the Busanga Plains is as varied as it is numerous. Regional specials such as roan antelope and sable antelope are common sightings here. Along with thousands of red lechwe, there is no shortage of games to view and photograph. Busanga Plains is also home to some of the largest herds of buffalo in the park, with numbers over 600, a sight to behold. The Southern Plains areas are home to wildebeest and zebra, along with herds of the diminutive oribi and secretive reedbuck. Of course, the predators are here too, with a dominant lion pride, the ‘Papyrus Pride’ resident to the wetter plains in the north and both the Moshi and Lufupa pride utilizing the areas to the north and south of Ntemwa-Busanga camp. Leopard are here too, especially along the tree line of the plains, the same area that offers cheetah sightings from time to time and late-season wild dog sightings.

Ntemwa-Busanga Plains Camp has access to a vast road network covering the expanse of the Busanga Plains and southern treelines. Zambia is one of the few places where night drives are permitted and all our vehicles are equipped with spotlights and red filters. Perfect to spot nocturnal animals!
