"Chisa Busanga Camp review"
The lodge is very different, probably unique, or at least the nests are. They are very cleverly designed and built with a fantastic view across the plains. Although it was quite cold at night and in the early morning, the nests were very cosy, even when left open at night, helped by a very comfortable bed and excellent hot water bottles. Whilst cleverly designed with ample sitting and storage areas, the nests are quite small and access to the single sink first thing in the morning could be problematic.
The rest of the camp in much more traditional and very nice, again with a great view across the plains. The food was excellent as were the friendly attentive staff.
Our guide, Harry, really went above and beyond and on one day we saw 16 individual lions including a total of 22 sightings including two kills. Even when we left the last sighting, a lioness and her four cubs on a kill in the dark, he was still looking for more on the way back to camp.
On the last morning, on our way to the airstrip, we were lucky enough to find a pack of 10 wild dogs that had just finished their lechwe breakfast. A great sighting to end a fantastic few days leaving us wishing we were staying an extra night." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

"Chisa Busanga Camp review"
The Chisa crew was very friendly, and our trip included some nice bush surprises but no spoiler here. Got hot water bags for both bed and the morning game drive and believe me with 6 degrees one morning this was very helpful.
The plains are beautiful, with large number of Pukus and Lechwes.
Hoped initially to see cheetahs which we were not able to find. Try again another time." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"Chisa Busanga Camp review"
Great small camp with the famous birds nest rooms which have great views but are quite small. Hosted by Pasha aided by Emanuel , Isaac , Newton was my guide.
The Busanga wetlands are fabulous similar in some respects to the Okavango. Newton my guide very experienced was excellent.
The main wildlife feature here are the enormous herds of Lechwe and Puku around the channels.This ensures that there are large groups of Predators Lions and Leopards. We spotted male and female leopards on a night drive and Porcupines.
Some great viewing of two female lions with their cubs.
Magnificent Sable antelope.
Lots of hippos in the channels. Most channels are too deep to traverse and no bridge's in place to cross." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia
