Ntemwa-Busanga Camp
Kafue National Park
Set in the heart of the vast and wildlife-rich Busanga Plains, Ntemwa-Busanga Camp offers front-row access to one of Zambia’s most unique and sought-after safari destinations. This seasonal floodplain teems with predators, antelope, and birdlife, and has become a favorite among wildlife photographers for its dramatic light and open landscapes. Activities here are predominantly vehicle-based, making it ideal for exploring the plains efficiently and comfortably. The wildlife of the Busanga Plains is as varied as it is abundant. Regional specials such as roan and sable antelope are regular sightings, while thousands of red lechwe dot the plains. The southern plains are home to wildebeest, zebra, the diminutive oribi and the ever-watchful reedbuck. Predators thrive here too. The Ntemwa Pride calls the area around camp home, while several other lion prides roam the northern sections of the plains — together forming one of the highest densities in Zambia. Leopard sightings are particularly rewarding, frequently encountered both along the tree line and out on the open plains. Cheetah have become a real highlight — with nine different individuals recorded from camp during the…
2025 season. Wild dogs also move through the area — elusive as ever, but always an exciting possibility.
Ntemwa-Busanga Camp features just six thatched chalets, each with an open-air en-suite bathroom at the rear, complete with a flushing toilet, plumbed sink, and a warm bucket shower. The raised main deck overlooks the vast and wildlife-rich Busanga Plains, offering the perfect place to take in the view. There’s also a shaded bird hide and sitting area – doubling as our small Wi-Fi room – ideal for relaxing during the heat of the day.
Combined with Musekese Camp, where walking and boating options are available, you can enjoy a superb “best of Kafue” itinerary that showcases the full diversity of the park. The guiding team, among the most experienced in the region, has worked with professional photographers and film crews from around the world, ensuring every drive is both rewarding and expertly led.
