These safaris are very popular for the great wildlife viewing potential and because the combination of lodge and bush camping makes for a real wilderness safari experience. Suitable for a first time safari or regular safari goers looking to get away from the main tourist routes. You will visit the  best game viewing areas of the South Luangwa's Mfuwe and the remote mopane woodlands and drying river heaving with Hippo in the far south. Busanga safaris Tony & Tyrone have both worked & managed Island Bush camp and have a soft spot for these camps, as usual we would suggest you call us for a chat about this safari idea.

Our 5 or 7 nights Bush Experience safari package offers a unique opportunity to combine the comfort and luxury of Kafunta with the rustic beauty of the Island Bush camp.

The first days are spent at Kafunta River Lodge, which offers the opportunity to discover the game rich Mfuwe area. Game activities at Kafunta River Lodge include game drives in open vehicles and unique night drives in search of Leopards and a myriad of other nocturnal animals. The central location of Kafunta River Lodge allows us to explore vast areas of South Luangwa National Park.

A 4 hour drive from Kafunta River Lodge through remote wilderness takes you to Island Bush Camp in the very South of the national park.  Island Bush Camp is built from natural, locally sourced materials, and the chalets are set along the banks of the Luangwa River. The camp offers rustic accommodation in grass/reed huts build on stilts that ensure safety from wild animals and provide an unlimited view of the Luangwa River. The camp offers rustic comfort and each chalet has it's own en-suite bathroom, with running water, flushing toilets and hot bucket showers. The camp is the base for the daily walking safaris.

Returning to Kafunta River Lodge, you spend the last part of your safari in the comforts of the lodge where you are able to participate in more game drives.
