Shumba Camp, & rates, Kafue National Park, Zambia

Our View

We vote Wilderness Safaris' Shumba Camp as Kafue’s best. It's in a great setting and has a real emphasis on the luxury experience. The area is visited by few guests so safaris here are very exclusive and the quality of guiding set very high. The Busanga Plains is famous for its predator concentrations and Shumba is set right in the best area….big game driving here is superb.

Shumba - The Details

Shumba Camp is located in the centre of the Busanga Plains, Kafue’s dense predator area - wild dog, cheetah and prides of lion are common.

The camp comprises six spacious luxury safari tents on raised platforms with spectacular views of the surrounding plains. The rooms are large, en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. The dining and bar area is elevated so as to take in this vista and each morning's sunrise; dinner takes place either here or in the camp boma. Many meals are prepared and cooked on the fire in front of the guests enhancing the safari experience.

A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at any one time and great emphasis has been placed on the "guided" experience - being led by qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Guests have the option of game drives in and around the Plains and night drives provide the added excitement of the nocturnal wonders of the area.

This camp is perfectly situated to take advantage of the game and predator concentrations of the Busanga Plains. It is within close proximity to permanent water and has easy access to a mix of seasonal and permanent floodplains. Shumba is named after a favourite species in the area - prides of lion sometimes up to 20 strong!
