About Chisa Busanga Camp

Chisa Busanga Camp sits on the legendary Busanga Plains in the north of Kafue National Park — a vast, seasonally flooded grassland famed for its lions, cheetahs, and red lechwe. The camp's signature Luxury Nests are treehouse-style units raised above the plain, with a Nests-with-Lift option for accessible luxury. Mornings bring game drives across the plains; afternoons, hot-air ballooning (seasonal) for a bird's-eye view of the herds. It is a true wilderness experience in one of Africa's most dramatic landscapes.
