Built on a tree island close to the centre of the Busanga Plains, Chisa, meaning 'bird nest,' inspired the design of this intimate camp.
Chisa Busanga offers breathtaking landscapes, particularly during the wet season when the floodplains are inundated, creating a stunning mosaic of waterways and grasslands. The scenery is often compared to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, making it a sought-after destination for nature lovers. As the flood waters recede from June to November, the Busanga Plains become accessible for safaris and are characterised by outstanding game-viewing, predator action, and colourful birdlife.
The 4 bird’s nest-style rooms, each elevated several meters above ground, give guests a real bird' s-eye view and a feeling of being in the tree canopy.
There is a central Bedouin-style chitenge tent where guests will eat and relax between safari outings and a small plunge pool – that offers a welcome respite from the hot midday sun.
Walking Safari - Slow down to nature’s pace as your knowledgeable guide and armed scout lead you on a bush walk that immerses you in the natural beauty of Busanga Plains.
Birding - Keep your eyes and ears open because you don’t want to miss seeing some of the 470 bird species that call the Busanga Plains home.
Meals in the Bush - To extend your safari viewing, why not eat out in the bush?
E-Cruiser Game Drive - Blend into the quiet of nature in the e-Cruiser, which allows you to experience all the sights and sounds of the bush in near silence and with a deep sense of environmental care.
E-Mountain Bike Safari - Experience the wonders of Busanga quietly and at a comfortable pace from the seat of an electronic mountain bike, with an experienced guide sharing their knowledge of the bush.
Four bird nest-style rooms built four metres off the ground and lined in canvas tenting. Each has a modern en-suite bathroom and a king-size bed covered in soft linens.
Guests are treated to expansive views from private outdoor decks and indoor/outdoor showers.
Children older than 9 years are welcome.

"Due to its remote location and limited accessibility, Chisa Busanga offers a more exclusive safari experience. The tranquillity of the wilderness, without large crowds, enhances the sense of adventure and connection with nature. The nests are part of the magic of this camp as you wake up to see elephants strolling past."
