Sausage Tree Camp
Lower Zambezi National Park
Sausage Tree Camp was first established in 1996 and has since grown a reputation as one of the most luxurious bush camps within the Lower Zambezi National Park. Named after the fruits of the Sausage tree (Kigelia Africana) which have a sausage shape and are very hard! Baboons, Squirrels and Hippo love them.
The camp has been awarded “The Best Location in Africa” and rated No. 1 by the BBC in the 10 Best Luxury Resorts in the World.
The camp is un-fenced allowing the wildlife to wander through the camp at all hours of the day. This makes your tent one of the best places to sit, relax and enjoy the spectacle as Elephants wander past, Baboons feed and play and Hippo can be heard eating noisily at night.
The camp hosts 18 guests in 7 luxury suites that are carefully hidden amongst the trees on the rivers banks and all boast super views over the river. The suites are quite simple in style yet their luxury is evident everywhere. a “muchinda” or private butler will look after all your desires while you relax on your private deck.
