A Dreamlike Setting

Chisa Busanga Camp is a remarkable spot that truly captures the essence of nature. The name comes from the Nyanja word “bird’s nest,” and you can see why! The camp features charming nest-style accommodations that sit high above the plains, giving you a cosy, unique place to stay.

It’s not just about comfort here; it’s about soaking in the stunning views and the vibrant wildlife surrounding you. The design of the lodge is inspired by the beautiful nests of local weaver birds, helping them blend perfectly into the landscape. It creates a magical setting that’s ideal for a romantic getaway or simply a peaceful retreat to reconnect with nature.

The Engagement Adventure

Quinton and Takara’s adventure began with an exhilarating game drive in the Busanga Plains, where they had the pleasure of spending their first morning and sunrise with twenty lions on separate occasions (yes, you read that correctly, twenty). This breathtaking experience was just the beginning of their extraordinary day. Upon returning to camp, they encountered even more lions at a nearby waterhole, where they witnessed a pride hunting a wildebeest — setting the perfect backdrop for Quinton’s proposal.

Overcome with joy, she said yes, marking this incredible occasion with love and adventure that neither would ever forget.
