BUSANGA BUSH CAMP - 4 nts
This 4-night fly-in safari in Zambia takes you to Wilderness Safari's Busanga Bush Camp in the Kafue National Park, not only is it a wonderful and wild destination, but your stay supports conservation; Anti-Poaching efforts in Kafue and the Kafue Lion Project.
Safari starts and ends in Livingstone.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THIS TRIP
Busanga Bush Camp lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains, a vast mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains that extend to the horizon. When the mist rises off the floodplains as they dry up in winter, incredible sunrises and sunsets are experienced here, while the floodplains and dambos teem with wildlife and birds.
Hidden on a tree-island of sycamore fig trees, the camp has four well-appointed en-suite tents each with a veranda to take in the sweeping views. The lounge and bar area is under canvas with an uninterrupted view out over the plains. A little further back is the dining area, shaded by the canopy of a majestic tree from which an unusual lantern chandelier hangs, romantically lighting up dinner; most meals are served in the open air.
- 4 x Kafue
Includes return light aircraft flights from Lusaka International Airport or from Livingstone [Harry Mwanga Airport].
CONSERVATION
Anti-Poaching in Kafue
Prior to our presence, Kafue saw significant poaching in the 1980s and game numbers declined before beginning to recover in the 1990s with the growth of ecotourism in Zambia. Wilderness Safaris currently supports the game scouts and anti-poaching units of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (previously ZAWA) logistically and financially year round.
Kafue Lion Project
Wilderness Trust funded a strategic management plan for lions in the greater Kafue National Park (KNP) system, including the surrounding Game Management Areas, which is contributing towards a better understanding and the sustainable management of the lion populations of KNP and Zambia as a whole.
Community Initiatives
As Wilderness Safaris began to operate in Kafue, opportunities arose to partner with the local people. Employment opportunities were the first step, initially in construction as more than 150 casual labourers from remote surrounding villages helped to build the camps, and then later in the camps. With permanent employment has come training and skills development.
