Four whimsical, elevated “Nest” suites perch 4 meter up in the trees on a tiny island in the heart of the Busanga Plains (Kafue NP), their rounded forms inspired by the weaver birds’ nests that dot the plains (and “chisa” means bird’s nest in Nyanja). This is Green Safaris’ flagship eco-camp: 100% solar, electric E-Cruiser game drives, and a light footprint that still feels indulgent. Guiding leans exploratory with quiet, long-lens mornings across misty floodplains, walking when conditions allow, and lazy midday swims in the communal plunge pool.

Our Favorite Rooms

All nest suites share a smilier layout, inside you have got a king bed under Evening Breeze cooling, a modern en-suite with indoor & outdoor showers, double vanities, a digital safe and the option of private-deck dining, it’s all the romance of a tree-house with the polish of a designer tent. If mobility is a concern, pre-book the Nest with Lift so you can glide up to your room without steps and still have the same views and flow.

Dining

Unfussy, seasonal plated menus with a Busanga accent. Meals in the bush are a signature, breakfasts pop up out on the Plains, and lunches or dinners can be staged on your private deck. Fireside boma nights bring everyone together, while the team is relaxed about dietary needs with notice.
