Location
The Sausage Tree Camp takes its name from the Kigelia africana found across the Lower Zambezi, a region also rich in plains game and predators.
We love it for its riverside location, the laid-back atmosphere and some of the very best predator spotting in the Lower Zambezi.

Accommodation
Sausage Tree Camp accommodates a maximum of 18 guests in a total of seven Bedouin-style tents, with wonderful views of the wide, slow-moving Zambezi River. Five of the tents are spacious Signature Tents which have a large bedroom, wonderful outdoor bathroom and teak sliding doors which open out to reveal a private deck looking out across thriving waterways.
In addition, the camp offers two Honeymoon Suites, which are even more substantial in terms of size and include a private bar and dining area, indoor and outdoor bathrooms and a huge veranda complete with private plunge pool.
The camp also serves excellent food, which includes Champagne bush breakfasts and outdoor barbecues with the languid river backdrop reflecting the star-studded night sky.

Experiences
Expert guides will take you animal tracking on foot in the early morning. You might like to spend the latter part of the afternoon paddling a canoe on the Zambezi, or trying your hands at tiger fishing.
Wonderful open-topped vehicles take you further afield and at night a spotlight is used to see nocturnal creatures. If you’re lucky, you may spot leopard stalking their prey.
