Shumba Champ

Experience & Activities   

Enjoy Zambian hospitality in the main area, where sumptuous dining, cooling off in the pool and shaded relaxation are the order of the day, while convivial fireside tales and stargazing are a nightly ritual. 

On interpretive game drives in open vehicles, guests may view large numbers of plains game such as puku, red lechwe, buffalo and wildebeest and even perhaps the rare roan antelope. Don’t miss the famous lions of Kafue, cheetah and wild dog.

Led by a knowledgeable guide, night drives offer a glimpse into Busanga Plains’ unique, nocturnal world. A diverse range of species may be seen at night, including genet, civet, owls and occasionally the elusive leopard. Early on in the season, the Busanga Plains are still covered in much water. A boating excursion during this time allows for exploration of the channels and their life. 

Fly eye-to-eye with an eagle and watch hippo playing far below on a hot air balloon safari over the vast wilderness renowned as ‘the Plains of Plenty.’
