Elegant tented camp in the heart of Busanga Plains
Shumba Camp is located in the heart of the breathtaking Busanga Plains, Kafue National Park. The name Shumba means "lion"; the camp is named after the many lion families that reside here. It is shaded by many fig trees and offers stunning views of the natural open plains.
The six luxuriously spacious tents stand on wooden platforms and feature en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers.
