THE DETAILS

Wilderness Busanga Bush Camp

Busanga Bush Camp is as remote as it gets on safari. Open for only five months a year, it reveals magical wild moments. Wake up early to watch the sun rise through the mist, behind grazing herds of puku and red lechwe. Crowned cranes pick their way through the drying grass as you nurse a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee, imagining the wonders that await on your game drive.

Reason for being (in Busanga)

Busanga Plains teems with charismatic wildlife. And for more than half a year, we don't get to see it. Yet it thrives silently in the background. Our presence is critical for the protection of this fragile ecosystem, through the support of anti-poaching activities and creating employment.
