Shumba Camp (lion's camp) is shaped like a horseshoe, with the main building taking central position and three rooms connected by high wooden walkways on either side. The rooms sit on high platforms and come with a large double bed, desk, en-suite facilities, double washbasin and outdoor shower.

The main building features a large terrace with fire pit where breakfast is served. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the Busanga Plains. The indoor area houses a bar, lounge and dining area with large glass windows leading out onto the deck.

Puku and red lechwe tend to gather in front of the camp as well as hippo during the flood season. Guests can loll in the hanging chairs and simply take in the spectacular surroundings. Lions regularly visit the camp, keeping everyone on their toes. Shumba Camp is most certainly one of the most beautiful camps in Kafue. Located just 15 minutes away, Busanga Bush Camp is suitable for those looking for a less luxurious bush experience.

Situated in the north of Kafue National Park and the very heart of the Busanga Plains, Shumba Camp is accessed by air from Lusaka or Livingstone, 1.5 and 2 hours flight time respectively. The open plains are not home to annoying tsetse flies, which are all too often found in the rest of Kafue National Park.

Kafue National Park covers an area of 22’400 km² which makes it one of the largest parks in Africa. The northern part of the park is home to the spectacular Busanga Plains, which flood during the wet season and gradually dry up again as October approaches. As the dry season progresses and the surrounding water holes dry up, more and more wildlife find their way onto the plains. Most camps open in May/June and close again in November when the rains arrive.

Upon arrival, Sausage Tree Camp impresses with its elegance and attentive staff. Seven modern and very spacious suites and one family suite (Kigelia House) are situated in a prime location on the banks of the Zambezi and offer a fabulously beautiful view. Each suite has its own lounge area, a very large bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a bathtub and an equally spacious terrace with private plunge pool where you can cool off and watch the hippos, crocodiles and elephants. Each suite is assigned a personal butler to ensure that the guests have everything they need.

In the middle lies the main building, where bar, dining area and the jetty are located. From the high deck the view of the green islands of the Zambezi and the Escarpment in the background is particularly idyllic. Breakfast is served at the bar in front of the deck. A 25 metre pool gives variety to safari life, where you can cool off and swim a few lengths.

Sausage Tree is one of the most luxurious safari camps in Lower Zambezi, offering guests any amenities without losing its original bush camp vibe. The individual, personal service is key; in addition to a personal butler each party has a private guide at their disposal. Sausage Tree Camp offers personalized safaris allowing the guests to set pace of their day including the type and length of each activity.

Sausage Tree Camp is situated within the Lower Zambezi National Park, which stretches 120 km along the Zambezi River and sits in the southeast of Zambia (4092 km²) opposite the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. The camp is accessed by air from Lusaka (45 mins) to Jeki Airstrip. A 40-minute boat transfer takes guests from Jeki to the camp.

The region around the camp is highly diverse and contains several beautiful channels and lagoons.

Chinzombo Camp brings levels of comfort, style and elegance previously unseen to the Luangwa Valley. Six spacious villas (150m2) – one of which is designed to accommodate a family of at least five are nestled within the shade of ancient trees in a wildlife rich area along the Luangwa River. Each villa has its own plunge pool and a large, bright terrace with a very comfy lounge. At Chionzombo guests truly get spoiled.

The spacious main building is equally stylish and includes a lounge corner, swimming pool, curio shop, an outdoor fireplace, bar and dining area. Here, guests don't eat together at a long table like in the classic bush camps. Chinzombo is more reminiscent of the Botswana camps in style and was built by the same architects who built some of the most famous Wilderness camps, including North Island in the Seychelles.

Chinzombo Camp is located outside South Luangwa National Park and can be reached from Mfuwe Airport in less than an hour. The access road turns left just before the main bridge to South Luangwa National Park and leads south along the river. The camp is located right on the edge of the river.

Guests cross the river by boat or by vehicle (if water levels permit) to access the National Park without having to cross Mfuwe main bridge. However, both sides of the river are equal when it comes to the abundance of wildlife they offer. Elephants cross the river all the time and know no park boundaries. In the morning some local fishermen may fish on the Luangwa, which is allowed here.

Mchenja Bush Camp is Norman Carr Safaris’ (current time + tide) most luxurious bush camp. „Mchenja" means ebony in the local language, matching the beautiful ebony forest which surrounds the camp.

Five wonderfully spacious, semicircular tents with characteristic thatched roofs and en-suite open-air bathrooms sit slightly elevated upon a rock floor. A canopy provides a sense of security, while the freestanding bathtub adds a touch of luxury – perfect after a multi-day walking safari. A wooden veranda allows guests to sit and watch the baboons at play as impala and bushbuck graze right in front of the tent. One of the rooms is a two bedroom/two bathroom family suite which is the perfect retreat for friends and families traveling together.

The main building comprises a bar, lounge area, dining table and a cosy and beautiful sitting area around the fireplace, where the day begins with breakfast in the morning and ends with a drink in the evening. Meals are often served under the open sky on the riverbank. At the far end of the camp there is a well maintained pool just be ready to share with the thirsty elephants!

Mchenja Bush Camp is situated on the banks of the Luangwa River in the northern part of South Luangwa National Park. Transfer time from Mfuwe Airport is approximately 2 hours.
