Bush camp
A single quiet site across the Kasanka River from Pontoon, between the Bat and Bufumu forests, looking out over open grassland.
Kasanka's quieter public campsite, a lone site across the Kasanka River between the Bat and Bufumu forests. It trades the Pontoon sites' sitatunga views for open grassland and solitude.
Kabwe lies downstream of the Pontoon sites on the far bank of the Kasanka River, tucked between the Bat Forest and the Bufumu Forest and facing open grassland rather than swamp. It is the quieter of Kasanka's public campsites, a single site rather than a cluster, and its position between two very different forests gives a mix of grassland game and forest birding. In the October to December bat season the Bat Forest and its treetop platforms are close at hand, and the Luwombwa River, with canoeing and catch-and-release fishing, is a longer drive north-west. The road is tarred to the park gate; check in at Wasa Lodge first. Bring all food and gear, and carry US dollars or kwacha, as cards are not taken.

Reviews are campers' own opinions, not Campesa's. They don't change the campfire score.
Tarred road all the way to the park gate; the last fuel is in Serenje. Tracks inside the park are not described.
From Serenje on the Great North Road, drive 36 km north to the tarred left turn signed Mansa and Samfya, then 55 km to the large Kasanka sign and the park gate on the left. Reception is at Wasa Lodge, 12 km inside the gate; gate staff give directions. From Northern Province, turn right towards Mansa 200 km south of Mpika; the gate is 55 km along on the left.
