Shumba Camp

Elegant Shumba, named after the prides of lion seen in the area, is found on a wooded island in the centre of the million-hectare Busanga Plains of Kafue National Park in Zambia. Home to hundreds of red lechwe, puku and other plains game and their predators, the wild and remote floodplains seemingly go on forever.

    WILDLIFE
    Shumba is situated in the middle of the Busanga Plains in the midst of various lion pride territories and is said to provide some of the best lion viewing in Africa. These lions are often seen in and around camp.

    The area is also perfectly situated to see large numbers of plains game such as puku, red lechwe, Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, oribi, buffalo and wildebeest. Cheetah and wild dog may also be seen, while a special treat is the ‘resident’ herd of rare roan antelope.

    For birding enthusiasts, the park boasts 491 species, including endemics such as Chaplin's barbet.
