Journey to the centre of wildlife paradise at Shumba Camp set on the Busanga Plains in the Kafue Flats region of Zambia for a very special luxury African safari vacation. The Busanga Plains region is well known for its herds of lechwe, puku, oribi and wildebeest and the predators that follow them, the large prides of lion, cheetah and wild dog. In the midst of this wildlife haven stands Shumba Camp with panoramic views that stretch across the plains to the miombo woodland in the hazy distance.
Offering an exclusive experience with a maximum of 12 guests at a time, you will be in expert hands for a superlative wildlife and safari experience. Stay in spacious luxury safari tents on raised platforms to allow you breathtaking views of the surrounding plains. You don’t even have to leave the camp to appreciate the prolific birdlife of the region or to sight antelope and hippo but will be hugely rewarded on the game drives in both the day and evening undertaken by this luxury safari venue.
Luxury camping, gourmet meals served up under the stars and all the African wildlife encounters you can dream of is what makes Shumba Camp a very special choice of destination.
Shumba Camp – luxury safari holidays in the midst of a wildlife paradise
Accommodation at the luxury Shumba Camp is in six spacious safari tents with twin beds that can be converted to doubles, set out on raised platforms overlooking the surrounding plains. The stylishly decorated rooms are all en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. Meals are served in the elevated dining and bar area and dinner can also be enjoyed in the boma where you can also experience elements of the local Zambian culture.
This luxury safari camp is perfectly positioned for excellent game viewing; both from the elevated main viewing decks and on day and night game drives through the surrounding area. Because of the close proximity to water, wildlife of all kinds is abundant in the area.
The name of Shumba Lodge comes from the local word for lion; one of the prominent species in the Busanga Plains region of Zambia and prides can often be seen up to 20 members strong. You can view puku, lechwe and hippo from the comfort of your tent or the main deck and the camp with its shady fig trees is a haven for birds.
The luxury tented Shumba Camp is situated in the north western corner of Zambia’s Kafue National Park in the famous Busanga Plains area.
