Intro

Ntemwa-Busanga Camp is the evolution of the award winning Jeffery & McKeith Safaris mobile camp in to a semi permanent seasonal bush camp. Accommodating just 6 guests in airy walk-in Meru safari tents, each with a private en-suite. The standard accommodation is very high especially considering its remote location. The camp is compared to the early Zambian walking safari camps where the wildlife experience is key but where meals and simple extra touches  ensure a very enjoyable experience. 

Run for you by the expert team at Jeffery & McKeith Safaris. Your stay is built around you and your choice of how you might want to spend your days, of course with the guidance and advice from your guides Tyrone Mckeith or Phil Jeffery whose incredible knowledge and experience will help you get the most from your safari.
