What to Expect
Set on a secluded tree island in the heart of the Busanga Plains, Shumba is an intimate and exclusive safari camp offering one of the most remote wilderness experiences on earth. Open for just five months each year, this hidden gem delivers extraordinary big cat encounters in a truly untouched setting.
The rich diversity of the Busanga Plains attracts an abundance of wildlife, from rare antelope such as oribi, roan, and sable to formidable predators including lion, wild dog, and cheetah. Here, dramatic interactions unfold as resident prides defend their territories against nomadic males, revealing the raw and ever-changing dynamics of life in the wild.
