Stay at Busanga Bush Camp

Busanga Bush Camp lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains, a vast mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains that extend to the horizon. The Plains cover an area of approximately 750 sq km and Busanga Bush Camp is located in the north-western section of this wildlife paradise.

This is a birder’s paradise at the beginning of the season when there is still plenty of standing water: large flocks of crowned cranes, pairs of wattled cranes, African fish-eagles,

thousands of open-billed storks, pelicans, marsh owlsand rosy-throated longclaws, to name but a few.

The accommodation is spacious and with all the amenities. Each tent overlooks the plain.The camp has four well-appointed en-suite tents each with a veranda to take in the sweeping views.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
