Immerse yourself in the heart of the Busanga Plains at Chisa Busanga Camp. Inspired by local weaver bird nests, our elevated Nest rooms blend seamlessly with nature, offering panoramic views of the vast plains. These architectural marvels are crafted sustainably to ensure minimal ecological impact while maximizing your connection to the wild.

Chisa stands out with its commitment to green innovation. As the only camp in the plains powered entirely by solar energy, we introduce guests to Silent Safaris. These noiseless electric drives promise intimate wildlife encounters, bringing you closer to nature's heartbeat.

Witness the magic as elephants wander beneath the Nests at sunset, and with more lions than beds for travellers, the plains promise an exclusive wildlife experience. Celebrated by global publications like Lonely Planet and National Geographic, Chisa Busanga Camp is where luxury meets sustainability.

The Nest

Hidden away in the trees, the Chisa Busanga Nests weave together luxury and romance while immersing you in the enchanting wilderness of the Busanga Plains.

The Nests have become part of the magic that is woven into the Busanga Plains. Wake up to elephants walking through the mist that rises off the drying floodplains below; fall asleep knowing that you sleep a little closer to the stars. It’s hard not to be captivated by this fairy-tale!

Each room has its own private deck, you can opt to dine privately overlooking to vast plains from your nest, and enjoy our complimentary laundry service.

One of our rooms is equipped with an electric lift to ensure it is accessible for anyone visiting our mini paradise.

E-Mountain Bike Safari Walking Safari E-Cruiser Game Drive Birding

Experience the wonders of Busanga quietly and at a comfortable pace from the seat of an electronic mountain bike, with an experienced guide sharing their knowledge of the bush. Our guides know all Busanga’s secrets, including spots for breath-taking views and great birding opportunities. As you crisscross through this enchanting landscape on two wheels, you will be creating lifelong memories.

Slow down to nature’s pace as your knowledgeable guide and armed scout leads you on a bush walk that immerses you in the natural beauty of Busanga Plains. Our guides are from neighbouring communities and know the secrets of Busanga in every detail. A maximum of six people can go on a walking safari and the minimum age is 14.

Blend into the quiet of nature in our e-Cruiser, which allows you to experience all the sights and sounds of the bush in near silence and with a deep sense of environmental care. Go unnoticed as you watch elephants walking through the mist at dawn, water-loving lechwe jump the streams, and a mother lion feed her little cubs.

Keep your eyes and ears open because you don’t want to miss seeing some of the 470 bird species that call the Busanga Plains home. This includes Africa’s endangered crane species, the colourful saddle-billed stork and a variety of other water birds. It’s always exciting to spot Pel’s fishing owl, which is often found perched in the trees waiting to make its next catch in the stream below.

Awarded the 2016 Best Villa in Africa by Haute Grandeur, Ndomo House is the perfect island villa escape. Completely exclusive and secluded from the outside world, Ndomo Private House is the ultimate group retreat in itself or as a spot to wind down after a safari.

Inspired by the architecture of Zanzibar, Zambia and Kenya’s Lamu Island, along with hints of Morocco and India, Ndomo is a melting pot of design ideas. The interior style has been imaginatively paired with African antiques and contemporary bespoke pieces created largely at Katundu Workshop.

Located on the south west corner of Likoma island, the House has been built around boulders, with rough rock walls contrasting dramatically against smooth-plastered rooms that meander intriguingly around the rocky hill. Three of the four bedrooms are en-suite; the other has a bathroom just outside the door.

Also inside, there is a large living room with deck, kitchen and dining area, study and media room. Stepping outside, you will find three large terraces and a courtyard, dining and barbeque area, and plunge pool, all with panoramic views of the lake and beyond. You have the private beach in front of the House all to yourself.
