Wildlife:- The beauty of the Kafue National Park - and the Busanga Plains in particular - is evident in its diverse habitats with floodplains, miombo woodland and open grassy areas known as dambos - creating a paradise for wildlife and birdlife. The Park boasts 55 large mammal species - including 20 antelope and 6 cats - and 491 bird species, including the endemic Chaplin's Barbet.

The Busanga area is home to thousands of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and sable as well as the diminutive oribi and blue duiker. Defassa waterbuck, herds of Lichtenstein's hartebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope. This wealth of game on the plains is also a big attraction for predators, with cheetah, leopard and African wildcat often seen, wild dog, pangolin, and caracal spotted occasionally, and prides of lion up to 20 strong.

The birdlife is certainly an attraction for many people visiting the Busanga Plains, including five species of rollers, six bee-eaters, nine kingfishers and fourteen egrets and herons. There are also specials, such as Wattled and Crowned Cranes, Fulleborn's and Rosy-throated Longclaws, Lanner Falcon and large flocks of Open-billed and Yellow-billed Storks

Access:- The Kafue is a vast wilderness area and driving is not advised. Therefore access is by air, with flights coming into the Lunga airstrip. Flying time is less than 2 hours, from Livingstone and Lusaka. On landing at Lunga, there is a three-hour game drive/transfer to the camp.

Power supply:- Electricity is supplied by a small diesel generator which runs for a short period of the day while guests are out on activities. The energy is stored in a bank of batteries and this provides for lighting in the evening.

Water supply:- Potable water to the camp comes from a well.
