Inside the park
Safari company
Opened in 2021 and unlike anything else in the park: four rooms woven like colossal weaver nests in the trees of a Busanga island. Game drives happen in silent electric vehicles, which changes how close the wildlife lets you come.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Rooms built as giant weaver-bird nests with stargazing windows
- Silent electric game-drive vehicles and eBikes
- Runs entirely on solar power
- A plunge pool at each nest, unusual for this remote
- Exclusive-use booking: take the whole camp for your group
Cons
- Fly-in camp; no self-drive route published
- No minimum age found for children
- Rates not consistently published; confirm current pricing directly
- Wi-Fi availability is not stated on the camp's own page
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 at Chisa Busanga Camp
Rates on request. Green Safaris publishes no rate card for Chisa; expect luxury-tier pricing.
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.
Questions about Chisa Busanga Camp
Is Chisa Busanga Camp good for families?
We found no published minimum age for children or family room description among Chisa Busanga's four nest rooms, so ask what age the camp accepts when you enquire. The unfenced setting on a tree-lined Busanga island means young children would need close supervision on any walk.
Can you book Chisa Busanga Camp for exclusive use?
Yes. The camp's own page invites guests to "book out the entire camp and bring your flock," so a group or family can take all four nests together. Contact Green Safaris at reservations@greensafaris.com for exclusive-use terms, since the page does not publish a minimum stay or a separate exclusive-use rate.
Is Chisa Busanga Camp good for a honeymoon?
It suits one well. Each nest room has a plunge pool and the camp's own page highlights "effortless stargazing" through windows set above the bed. Game drives run in silent electric vehicles, which keeps the experience quiet and private for a couple rather than a convoy of noisy diesel trucks.
Can you self-drive to Chisa Busanga Camp?
The camp's own page does not describe a self-drive route, and the setting, a tree-lined island deep in the Busanga Plains, points to fly-in access like the other Busanga camps. Confirm directly with Green Safaris at reservations@greensafaris.com whether a road option exists for your dates.
What does the rate at Chisa Busanga Camp include?
Green Safaris describes the camp as fully inclusive, covering stays, meals and activities such as silent e-Cruiser game drives, walking safaris, birding, eBikes and boma dinners. The page does not break down drinks or laundry separately, and our record and the operator's site differ on price, so ask for a current quote.
