Shoebill Island Camp offers accommodation in safari tents under thatch roofs and reed cottages. Each has 2 beds, an en-suite shower and flush toilet. The island has panoramic views over the swamps and gets its name from the Shoebill, which are usually in reach of the camp. Boating can be arranged in banana boats or dugout canoes. March and April offer an amazing watering wilderness for the adventurous with Shoebills often visible from camp! The main season is from May to August when Shoebills can usually be seen on canoe trips. September to November offer great birding (though maybe no Shoebill sightings) and the same amazing mammal spectacles.

Shoebill Island Camp is managed by the Kasanka Trust, and tours are regularly arranged to take visitors on to Shoebill from Kasanka. This either involves an interesting but bumpy 5 hours drive through villages or a charter flight directly into Chimbwi airstrip, just 1 km from Shoebill Island. Flying in (or out) has the additional advantage of some fantastic aerial game viewing. A trip to Shoebill Island Camp is highly recommended in addition to Kasanka at any time of year.

As well as managing the Camp at Shoebill Island the Kasanka Trust is assisting the Zambia Wildlife Authority to manage the area. They have been supplying rations for scout patrols, transport to take poachers to court and recently received a grant from Luawata Conservation to renovate and improve the scouts' housing. They have also been supporting a community school started by the scouts to help uplift education and provide an alternative to poaching. From each visitor to Shoebill Island a portion of the money raised is used to assist ZAWA in wildlife management and 5% is given to the local Community Resource Board to fund locally driven development and resource management activities. Any remaining surplus revenue is returned to the Trust for charitable use in and around Kasanka.
