Camp Details
Shumba opens for just five months each year, making this seasonal camp one of the most exclusive safari destinations in Africa. Expect front-row seats to dramatic and thrilling wildlife encounters.
Right from Shumba’s contemporary deck you’re immersed in its exceptional diversity of wildlife. The area boasts more antelope species than anywhere else in Africa, taking dramatic flight as predators approach. Busanga Plains is known for its predators – leopard, hyena, cheetah, and the star attraction, the ‘flying lions’ – often seen leaping over the drying channels.
Remote and exclusive, Shumba occupies its own little island in the midst of the Busanga Plains, overlooking miles of floodplains threaded with channels. There are just six luxury suites here, built on raised wooden platforms to observe the wilderness from every angle. Marvel at the Plains’ lion dynamics, relax in your spacious tented suite and later, dine sumptuously under the stars.
WHY CHOOSE SHUMBA CAMP?
- Meaning ‘lion’, Shumba is aptly named after the prides of lion seen in the area
- The Plains are home to hundreds of red lechwe, puku, roan and oribi
- Sail over the Plains in a hot air balloon – the most exclusive wildlife ballooning in Africa
