Overview of Sausage Tree Camp

Zambia, Lower Zambezi

Let the stark beauty and rugged remoteness of the Lower Zambezi National Park take your breath away as you arrive to the Sausage Tree Camp. Though the wildlife is not as diverse, the opportunity to get close to the game is thrilling, particularly when resident hippos and elephants roam through the camp to snack on the new leaves and young fruits.

Each morning wake up feeling like royalty in your spacious Bedouin-style tent designed for privacy and tranquil living. Set out on a scenic boat cruise to view the large hippo pods and the lions sunning themselves on the banks above you. For the keen fisherman the Zambezi offers the challenge of fishing for tiger fish. Sit out by the boma enjoying an evening cocktail watching a stunning African sunset.

Sausage Tree Camp is one of the most extravagant in the Lower Zambezi: think a lap pool with river views, private plunge pools, double outdoor showers, expansive decks, very large tents and upscale décor. It is a favourite of honeymooners and couples, and has an enviable view of the water and mountains beyond.

Wake up in the morning to a hot beverage served by your muchinda (butler) who will take care of your every need. Strolling through the camp to breakfast, enjoy the thrill of encountering elephants munching on sausage tree pods.

General Facilities

Listen to the rustling of the leaves in the mahogany trees as you cool off with a dip in the lap pool during the heat of the day. Sit out on the large deck and marvel at the elephants that wander by… If you want to see what is happening on the opposite shore of the Zambezi River, simply look through the camp’s high-powered scope: you may see male impala rutting, elephants on their hind legs reaching for berries or even a massive crocodile basking in the sun.

    It was our favourite and was just superb all round. We had a wonderful canoe trip down the river, witnessed a leopard kill and had some fantastic Tiger fish.
