High-end
Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Mukambi's seasonal outpost on the plains, and a marker of the realistic Busanga calendar: it opens on 15 July, not in June. If you see it listed as Mukambi Plains Camp with bucket showers, that is the old name and a stale description; the camp now runs an infinity pool and a star bed.
Why you'd pick it
- Infinity pool looking over the floodplain
- Dining platform built into a wild fig tree
- A star bed four metres up for sleep-outs
What's here
- Swimming pool
- Wi-Fi
- En-suite bathrooms
Arranged from the lodge:
- Game drives
- Guided walks
Read from Busanga Plains Camp's own website in July 2026. Anything not listed we could not confirm, which is not the same as it being absent.
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kafue National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThere is no self-drive surcharge here.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleForeign-registered vehicle under 3 tonnes.
- $15per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $165 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Kafue National ParkRates
$950 pppn. Fully inclusive, three-night minimum. Established 2008.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards and published tariffs, gathered July 2026. Many Kafue camps quote on enquiry only. Watch two things when comparing: whether park fees are included (Mayukuyuku and Konkamoya include them, most others do not), and conservation levies of $30 to $40 a night at some camps. A caution on older guides: Lufupa River Camp, Lufupa Tented Camp, Leopard Lodge and Puku Pan all appear closed or dormant, Mukambi Plains Camp is simply the old name of Busanga Plains Camp, and the Jeffery & McKeith brand merged into Classic Zambia Safaris. We list none of them as live options.
