Sights of Africa

Shumba, Zambia

Shumba Camp is located in the centre of the Busanga Plains in Zambia, home to hundreds of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and the diminutive oribi. Lichtenstein's hartebeest, herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope - all of 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 prides of lion. As far as African safaris go, this is a perfect place to start.

Shumba Camp comprises six spacious luxury safari tents on raised platforms with spectacular views of the surrounding plains. The rooms are large, en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. The dining and bar area is elevated so as to take in this vista as well as each morning's sunrise. Dinner takes place either here or in the cosy boma, where guests can also enjoy elements of local Zambian culture.
