Overview

Chisa is the Nyanja word for ‘birds nest’, and the rooms were inspired by the weaver bird nests that decorate the trees here. Sitting on a small tree-lined island, the camp uses only solar power as do the game drive vehicle and bicycles used to explore the watery dambos beyond.

Chisa Busanga Camp celebrates the natural and cultural heritage of the Busanga Plains, a place that will leave an indelible imprint on your mind, as it has on ours.

The Nests have become part of the magic that is woven into the Busanga Plains. Wake up to elephants walking through the mist that rises off the drying floodplains below; fall asleep knowing that you sleep a little closer to the stars. It’s hard not to be captivated by this airy-tale!

As you disappear quietly into the floodplains and dambos on our e-Cruiser, e-Bike or on foot, the game sightings are more intense, the birdlife interactions closer, and the sounds of the bush uncompromised. Our lovely guides are fluent in the language of the bush and they are always ready to teach people how to read it.
