The Plains are home to hundreds of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and the diminutive oribi. Lichtenstein's hartebeest, herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope. This wealth of game on the plains is also a big attraction for predators, including wild dog, cheetah and prides of lion. Shumba Camp comprises six spacious luxury safari tents on raised platforms with breathtaking views of the surrounding plains. A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at any one time and great emphasis has been placed on the "guided" experience. The "guides" being highly qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife.
For those interested in birding, the Park boasts 491 species of birds, including endemics such as Chaplin's Barbet.

The beauty of the park is evident in its diverse habitats with floodplains, miombo woodland and open grassy areas called dambos. There are large herds of puku, lechwe and wildebeest that roam the floodplains of the Busanga. With that there is a variety of other plains game ranging from zebra and buffalo to roan and oribi. There are resident prides of lion, and cheetahs frequently hunt on the wide-open plains. Wild dogs are occasionally sighted. Hippos come out of their deep-water channels to graze on the fertile floodplains. The birdlife is certainly an attraction for many people visiting the Busanga Plains
