Kafue , Zambia
Shumba Camp is set in the centre of the Busanga Plains, home to hundreds of red lechwe and other antelope species, which move onto the Plains as the dry season progresses. This wealth of game is a big attraction for predators, including wild dog, cheetah and large prides of lion, sometimes up to 20 strong. Shumba Camp comprises of six spacious luxury safari tents set on raised platforms with spectacular views of the surrounding plains. Rooms are large and en suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. A lovely experience is to watch chefs prepare delicious meals on the fire in front of you.
