Fishing at Hippo Lodge, Kafue National Park.
From the North, coming from the Copperbelt, take
the road to Solwezi and then to Kasempa. (It may
be useful to note there is a very good hospital at
Kasempa). From here, a reasonable graded track
for 98 kilometres will take you to the Lunga Pontoon.
To reach the northern gate of the park, take the last
left turn (approximately 16 km) before the pontoon.
From Livingstone travel to Kalomo on the road to
Lusaka and turn left, followed by another left turn
towards Ndumdumwense, to reach the gate at the
southern edge of the park.

The Busanga Plains Bush Camp is a seasonal bush
camp in the heart of the infamous Busanga Plains.
The Plains Camp is a thrilling five hour drive from its
sister camp, Mukambi Safari Lodge through the Ka-
fue National Park. The camp is beautifully located,
and loved by all that know of it, yet is only accessible
four months a year. Guests will can find lions and
cheetahs preying on animals such as wildebeest,
and buffalo just to name a few. Lechwe and puku
can be found grazing in the central swamps while the
shy sitatunga hides in the papyrus reeds. Crowned
and wattled cranes, secretary birds and ground horn-
bills pepper the scenery. On the Busanga Plains, fig
and palm trees draw their nutrients from giant termite
mounds. It is a landscape like no other. The camp
consists of only four big safari tents with en-suite
bathrooms and raised viewing areas that overlook
the Busanga Plains.
