Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia

Sausage Tree Camp

This little bush camp has an air of style and romance to it.

Lower Zambezi National Park has something for everyone. Adrenalin filled canoe rides on the Zambezi River among the hippo being a highlight. While the north bank of the Zambezi does not stand up to Mana Pools NP on the south side of things in terms of game viewing, it is an interesting and fun stop on a diverse safari.

Sausage Tree Camp is located on the banks of the Zambezi River, at the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia. This exclusive safari camp specializes in affording guests the very best game viewing, with traditional safari style. Only the very highest international standards in luxury and service are offered and are combined with this truly classic African wildlife experience.

Accommodation is in 6 luxurious white Bedouin style tents, discreetly positioned along the riverbank. Local materials are utilized to create a minimalist style in which the reddish brown teak furniture including, four-poster beds, contrast crisply and cleanly with pure white fabrics and flowing white mosquito nets. Nearly hidden from one another, and shaded by mature sausage and mahogany trees, the tents are cool, private sanctuaries to return to after an early morning game drive and for a good night's rest. Each tent has a private open-air en-suite bathroom, which has become a distinct trademark for this world-renowned tented safari camp. From the loo with a view, to the steaming hot shower, the honeymoon tent offers a bathtub worth marrying for. Each tent has its own personal Muchinda (butler) to attend to guests' every whim.

Dining options include breakfast and lunch served in a buffet style, consisting of fresh ingredients prepared in a very healthy way. For those who prefer a cooked breakfast, orders can be taken the night before. While not a formal affair, most guests choose to have dinner together at our hosted table. If guests would prefer a private and romantic dinner for two, the Camp will gladly set up your very own table, bar and campfire in front of your tent. Dining alone perched on the edge of the Zambezi with your very own personal Muchinda attending to your every wish is something not to be missed.

Sleeping only 12 guests, Sausage Tree Camp offers a truly personalized safari experience. Devoid of fences, elephant and other game frequently walk through camp, allowing guests to enjoy game experiences from the comfort of their tents. Game viewing is the prime reason for visiting African wildlife areas and national parks. Sausage Tree Camp offers some of the finest game viewing in natural habitats anywhere on the continent. The area also prides itself on being relatively "human free" as well. Game drives, boat and canoe safaris, and guided bush walks, all with the most knowledgeable and experienced guides, are not to be missed.

During your stay in the Lower Zambezi, you will have a very good chance of seeing the following large mammals: elephant, hippo, buffalo, waterbuck, zebra, impala, bushbuck and kudu. Of the carnivores, there are solid numbers of leopard, lion and hyena. Other commonly seen animals are wild dog, serval and the African wild cat.
