Wings of Wonder:
A Guided Birding Safari in Zambia
Follow Zambia's floodplains, rivers and woodlands on a specialist birding safari through Kafue and Lower Zambezi national parks. From the open Busanga Plains to the wooded banks of the Kafue and the broad channels of the Zambezi, each landscape brings new calls, colours and behaviours to discover.
Expert guiding, walking safaris, electric game drives and quiet boat journeys give birders varied ways to observe the country's remarkable avian life. The itinerary is ideal for experienced birdwatchers, photographers and travellers who simply want to slow down and look more closely.
Chisa Busanga Camp
Why Chisa Fits This Birding Safari
The Busanga Plains provide an exceptional opening to the journey, with seasonal wetlands, open grasslands and termite mounds supporting cranes, storks, chats, raptors and many other species. Electric game drives and guided walks allow birders to explore quietly and follow the habitats most active that day.
About Chisa Busanga Camp
Chisa is a small, imaginative camp in northern Kafue National Park, best known for its elevated Nest rooms inspired by local birdlife. Its remote setting, low visitor density and experienced guides create an intimate base for discovering the Busanga Plains.
Ila Safari Lodge
Why Ila Fits This Birding Safari
Ila adds the riverine and woodland habitats of central Kafue to the itinerary. Birders can explore by solar-powered boat, electric safari vehicle or on foot, with local guides adjusting each outing around seasonal movements, recent sightings and target species.
