Eco-Innovation Meets The Wild Heart Of The Kafue At Chisa Busanga Camp

Nestled in the heart of Kafue National Park's Busanga Plains, Chisa Busanga Camp (part of the "Green Safaris" portfolio) emerges as a gem of architectural brilliance and eco-conscious design, seamlessly blending with its environment. 'Chisa,' translating to ‘bird’s nest’ in Nyanja, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the camp's suites, which draw inspiration from the intricate weaver bird nests adorning the area's trees.

Perched on a quaint, tree-lined islet, this haven operates solely on solar power. It extends eco-friendliness to its game-drive vehicles and bicycles, allowing guests to explore the watery dambos that stretch beyond in absolute harmony with nature.

Chisa Busanga Camp stands out as a beacon of natural and cultural celebration within the Busanga Plains, promising to etch its beauty and tranquillity deeply into the hearts of those who visit. It proudly stands as the sole establishment in the Busanga Plains, offering silent safaris with electric Land Cruisers and Electric Mountain Bikes, providing a serene yet exhilarating experience.

The unique "Nests" at Chisa offer an unparalleled bird's eye view of the plains, a dream many yearn for but few ever realize. The sense of spirituality and freedom one encounters here, amidst the magical open plains, is undeniably profound.

Positioned to overlook the expansive Busanga flood plains and dambos teeming with an array of wildlife, Chisa Busanga Camp is an ode to the untouched beauty and spirit of the Northern Kafue.
