The Busanga Plains is undoubtedly the best place for wildlife viewing in Kafue National Park and Kasonso Busanga – our bushcamp – is located right in the heart of the prime game viewing area. The Busanga Plains area is perfectly situated to see large numbers of red lechwe, but is also well known for the big lions, buffalo, elephant, wildebeest and relaxed roan antelope.
The lions of Busanga are a highlight of the region and the encounters of these cats moving around the floodplains is something to behold.
The water, fig tree islands and floodplains make for superb birding and the Busanga has an incredible birding list to experience.
The Busanga is also home to extensive lechwe populations and the topography of the land makes for a photographer’s dream!
