Chisa Busanga Camp

CEDARBERG RATING

Luxury

Overview

When Green Safaris's founder, Vincent and his close friend Bert Meerstadt, an architect from the Netherlands, were wandering around the island together where the camp would be situated, they both looked up and stared at a beautiful bird’s nest. In a split second and without words, they both realised what the design of this new camp would be – nests!

Weavers' nests make ingenious homes and they wanted to replicate this in some way. The goal was to offer unique and fascinating accommodation as well as create beautiful spaces where guests could reflect on nature’s wonder and ingenuity.

Chisa Busanga Camp lies in the middle of the Busanga Plains. A most innovative design to complement the majesty of the surrounding terrain. 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 fairy-tale!

The camp is also entirely solar-powered and is the only camp in the Busanga Plains to operate Silent Safaris, where electric game-drive vehicles (which are also recharged with solar power) with no intrusive engine noises enable guests to get that much closer to the wildlife.

Chisa Busanga Camp – Kate’s review

What an amazing place, both the Busanga Plains, but also the innovative architectural Chisa Camp. The Busanga Plains delivers both in sheer quantity and diversity of predator sightings with cheetah, leopard and lion seen all on one game drive. Plus Busanga has only 15,000 visitors versus 1.5million visitors to the Kruger National Park. But it … Read More
