Overview of Potato Bush Camp

Zambia, Lower Zambezi

Tucked away under huge trees on the banks of the Zambezi River, Potato Bush Camp is the sister lodge to nearby Sausage Tree Camp. It has the distinction of being one of the few lodges set inside Zambia’s game-packed Lower Zambezi National Park, long a favourite under-the-radar destination for safari aficionados.

Featuring only three huge tented suites and a 4-sleeper family tent, this camp promises a very intimate and personalised safari experience for honeymooners, groups of friends and adventurous families. And with its remote setting at the heart of big game country, the opportunities for wildlife viewing at Potato Bush Camp are fantastic, not least from the comfort of the unfenced camp itself. Although it is named after a shrub that gets pretty purple-blue flowers, Potato Bush Camp actually lies in the shade of tortilis and mahogany trees, with beautiful solid Zambian rosewood used in the lodge's fixtures and furniture.

A wide variety of activities ensures that the most is made of this spectacular area. Morning and afternoon/evening game drives set the pace and guided walks, boat safaris and canoeing expeditions in Canadian-style canoes are also on offer, helping you gain a new perspective on the Zambezi’s teeming ecosystems. Bird watchers will be amazed by the birdlife (especially southern carmine bee-eaters) while anglers will be keen to take on the challenge of catching the fearsome tigerfish (all necessary tackle is provided).

You will enjoy sunset drinks and snacks while out on your afternoon activity before returning to camp. Evenings are given over to cocktails at the fireside before a delectable set-menu dinner, accompanied by South African wines, is served in the softly lit dining room.

    Potato Bush was somewhat more luxurious than Kaingo; bigger rooms, a small pool, etc. The water activities, and the canoeing especially, were a big plus. We went on the canoes twice. The channel (through which they took the canoes) also allows plentiful opportunities for bird watching. They had good staff, and the deputy manager (Faith) was friendly, informative and intelligent. There were fewer big cats here.

    A fantastic camp for small groups or families travelling together; with only four tents you are guaranteed a personal and intimate safari experience! Potato Bush Camp is set inside Lower Zambezi National Park with views over the islands and channels – a great location for game spotting right from your doorstep. Activities range from game drives, canoe safaris, boat cruises, walking safaris and fishing (the camp is great for birders too!) so there are plenty of opportunities to experience the unspoilt wilderness – and wildlife – of Zambia!
