To create accommodation that would be unique and unforgettable for guests and yet nonintrusive to the local wildlife, architect Bert Meerstadt designed each Chisa room to resemble a weaver bird nest. The challenge was to create a structure that could be built in the middle of a seasonal floodplain without harming the environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour frames were painstakingly shaped in South Africa and transported to the Busanga Plains, where they were installed amongst the terminal trees. The nests were raised at least four meters off the ground to minimise the impact on the local ecology and wildlife. \u003cstrong\u003eOne was designed to incorporate a simple metal lift so that travellers with limited mobility could easily reach the Nest.\u003c\/strong\u003e Local artisans then collected fallen twigs, vines, and sticks from the immediate area and wove them around each framework, incorporating the electrical wires and water pipes and hiding them between the metal and the sticks to make anything non-natural practically invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChisa Busanga Camp is entirely solar-powered\u003c\/strong\u003e and is the only camp in the Busanga Plains to \u003cstrong\u003eoperate Silent Safaris\u003c\/strong\u003e, where electric game-drive vehicles (which are also recharged with solar power) with no intrusive engine noises enable guests to get that much closer to the wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its namesake, the weaver nest, each Chisa room has a large circular opening at the front that maximises its stunning view over the Busanga Plains. Everything inside each Nest is magnetised around this view, from the queen-sized bed to the indoor-outdoor shower and cosy seating nook. Each Nest is also lit from within by a large, handmade chandelier from Katundu in Malawi. Each chandelier comprises strings of seeds in another subtle nod to the weaver birds. Chisa means 'Bird's Nest' in Nyanja, and every detail of these nest rooms has been carefully crafted to bring this inspiration to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImmerse yourself in the heart of the Busanga Plains at Chisa Busanga Camp. Inspired by local weaver bird nests, our elevated Nest rooms blend seamlessly with nature, offering panoramic views of the vast plains.
