From guided game drives and river cruises to starlit evenings and tranquil moments overlooking untouched wilderness, this is a safari designed for those seeking both adventure and authenticity in equal measure.

Ntemwa-Busanga Plains Camp
Tucked away in the remote northern Busanga Plains region of the Kafue National Park, Ntemwa – Busanga Camp is a new, seasonal Fly Camp, which opens during the dry season annually from July to November. The camp has evolved from the old Mobile Camp, formerly located in the same region of the Kafue. The rustic, distinctive charm of this very private camp has been retained, however each of the four roomy Meru style tents now boasts an en-suite bathroom with bucket shower and flush toilet.
Meals are served either al-fresco in the camp surrounds or in the shaded Boma, ideally positioned on a deck with awe-inspiring, extensive views of the vast Busanga Plains.
The Kafue National Park has become renown for its incredibly diverse range of habitats which in turn support an amazing array of wildlife. With very few camps in the Park, guests can immerse themselves completely within the solitude of this untouched wilderness. Antelope abound in the Kafue and one may even encounter certain rare species, including Roan and Sable Antelope, Hartebeest, Wildebeest, Puku, Oribi and Red Lechwe. A multitude of avian life also frequents the various habitats of the Park making this a particularly attractive birder’s paradise. Good numbers of large (and small) predators inhabit the Park; however due to the very small number of camps in relation to the scale of the Park, sightings are frequent but not guaranteed.
The focus of safaris at Ntemwa – Busanga Camp is therefore to rather bring visitors close to nature at a leisurely, unhurried pace. Morning and evening game drives as well as bush walks are included. Full day game drives and birding safaris may be arranged on request.
The Kafue is one of the last true wilderness areas. Covering 22,440km², its unmatched variety of species and being able to enjoy the wildlife almost on your own, makes this park one of the last secrets of Africa. This is a place to unwind, enjoy our chefs’ cuisine and be spoiled with an abundance of activities or, if you prefer, just relax and feel the heartbeat of Africa.
Our Lodge is situated in the Namwala Game Management Area (GMA) on a spectacular and remote stretch of the Kafue River, approximately 400 kilometres north of the majestic Victoria Falls. The Kafue National Park, just opposite the lodge and only a 10-minute boat trip away, offers magnificent game that you can enjoy viewing from our comfortable open game drive vehicles.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Kafue National Park—and enjoy this specific safari at its absolute best—is during the dry season from June to October.
Dry Season (June – October) — Best Overall
This is when the park truly comes alive:
- Wildlife gathers around rivers and waterholes, making sightings far easier
- The Busanga Plains floodwaters recede, creating vast open grasslands ideal for predator action
- Cooler temperatures (especially June–August) make activities more comfortable
- Excellent conditions for game drives, walking safaris, and photography
Peak months: July to October (best game viewing, especially predators)
