The Plains Camp is the seasonal luxury bush camp of Mukambi Safaris located deep in the heart of the famous Busanga Plains in the north of beautiful Kafue National Park.

A wide variety of species is found on the plains including Lion, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, Lechwe, Side-striped Jackal, and Blue Wildebeest. In addition, large numbers of elephants and 500 bird species are recorded; watch for roan antelope and the rare oribi antelope.

The raised boma (communal area), with open campfire and dining area, is rustic, informal and overlooks the openness of the plains, only interrupted by tree studded islands where Fig trees and wild Date Palms draw their nutrients from the remains of giant anthills. Relax and enjoy a refreshing dip in our pool or sunbathe on the wooden deck whilst overlooking the surrounding wetlands. A wooden viewing platform on stilts tucked away high up in the characteristic Fig tree above the Boma offers a breath-taking view directly onto the floodplain.

Busanga, a landscape so distinctive, it is like no other you will see in Africa. This is the Africa you have dreamt of and you can visit this unique area with Mukambi Safaris. It offers a real "home away from home" experience, where service is professional and friendly, yet unobtrusive.

The Plains Camp consists of 4 fully furnished tents, each with an en-suite bathroom. Each tent can sleep 2 persons. The camp is located in the middle of the plains on an island and from your tent you have a perfect view on the plains and the marsh.

Busanga Plains Camp offers an intimate experience with nature in accommodation consisting of four luxury safari tents (2 twin and 2 double) with en-suite open air bathrooms and flushing toilets, each one overlooking the Busanga Plains. The tents are light, airy and spacious with large beds draped with mosquito nets. Experience the total peace of nature from your private veranda. Enjoy the glow of lantern lights on canvas walls and drift off to sleep to the sounds of the African night.

The camp is solar powered and all tents do have electricity. Guests can charge the cameras and other small electrical equipment in the room.

New to Busanga Plains Camp is the addition of a Starbed. Guests can now spend a night under the stars and enjoy the sights and sounds of the night. The Starbed is well raised off the ground (6m) giving guests a lovely 360 view of the Busnaga Plains.

Only one Starbed is available and guests can make a booking with the camp manager (when in camp) and spend a night there. The Starbed comes as a double room and is made up of two sections. The first section is is the bathroom area and on the upper deck guests will find an open sleeping area complete with bedding and mosquito netting, offering a view of the skies and the Plains beneath them
