Sausage Tree Camp

Sausage Tree Camp is the epitome of bush chic offering a civilised approach to a true bush experience with lavish attention to detail. This exclusive safari camp is set in the most stunning location on the banks of the Zambezi River in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park's best game viewing area.

Sausage Tree Camp offers a wide range of safari activities including day and night game drives, walks, canoe trips, boat cruises and fishing. With personalised guiding, guests decide exactly what activity they would like to take and when. All of the guides are fully trained and have many years of experience, ensuring that the highest quality of guiding and safety standards are achieved. Elephant, hippo and buffalo are seen in camp daily. Guests also have an extremely high chance of seeing lion, leopard, wild dogs, hyena, waterbuck, zebra, impala, bushbuck and kudu during their stay.

Night drives are the perfect way to experience the nocturnal animals, including the elusive leopard, genet, civet, porcupine and giant eagle owl. The big cats tend to be more active at night and you may find yourself following lions on the hunt. Your guide will also point out the constellations of the Southern night sky.

Each of the 7 luxury tented suites are situated close to the river's edge allowing unrivalled views over the reed islands in front of camp teeming with wildlife. Each suite offers a lounge area, bedroom, indoor bathroom with open air shower, and sliding doors leading out onto a large deck complete with outdoor lounge area and a private plunge pool.  The tents are constructed from canvas and eco man made "wood" and decorated with soft linens, natural wood and modern furniture.

In addition, there is also Kigelia House, which is the perfect choice for small groups or families, with 2 en-suite bedrooms separated by an open plan living area leading onto a private deck with a plunge pool.

The superb African fusion cuisine is enjoyed in surprising locations, with white linen and atmospheric candlelight. The main guest area houses the dining, lounge and bar areas and connects to a large 25m lap pool which is idyllically situated overlooking the mighty Zambezi River.
