Sausage Tree Camp
New to Sausage Tree for 2015: all guests get a private guide!
Sausage Tree Camp is the epitome of bush chic, set in a stunning location along the Zambezi River at the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park. The camp is located on the banks of the Zambezi River in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park. It overlooks an expanse of narrow channels and low set reed islands teeming with game, with the magnificent Zambezi escarpment as a backdrop. Accommodation for only 16 guests is in luxurious white Bedouin style tents which are generously spaced along the Zambezi River bank allowing the elephants to amble in between. Local materials create a minimalist style in which the teak furniture, including four-poster beds, contrasts with pure white fabrics and flowing mosquito nets. Nearly hidden from one another, and shaded by mature sausage and mahogany trees, the tents are cool, private sanctuaries, with open air bathrooms and expansive decks overlooking the Zambezi River. Each tent has its own personal Muchinda (butler) to attend to your every whim. Included are 2 enormous 'Honeymoon Suites' each boasting indoor and outdoor bathrooms, dining area, bar, and a king size bed overlooking the private pool set into the expansive teak deck. |

'Kigelia House' is the perfect choice for small groups or families, with 2 en suite bedrooms separated by an open plan living area leading onto the private deck and pool.
The central dining and bar area is fronted by an enormous teak deck overlooking the Zambezi River, and the large swimming pool is idyllically situated under shading mahogany trees.
Dinners are served to the sounds of the African evening by candle light in the open air dining tent, by star light on the deck, by moonlight on an island in the Zambezi, by campfire light deep in the bush, or by lantern light in the privacy of your own deck.
Lunches can be on a sandbank in the Zambezi River, the water lapping at your feet, and sundowners are enjoyed while watching the sun set over the Zambezi escarpment from the deck, or overlooking the river or open plains.
Special dietary requirements are accommodated with advance notice.
Elephant, hippo and buffalo are seen in camp daily, with a high chance of sighting lion, leopard, wild dogs, hyena, waterbuck, zebra, impala, bushbuck and kudu.
Being located on the banks of the Zambezi River, a wide range of game viewing activities takes place both on the water, by scenic boat cruises and canoes, and on land in 4 x 4 game viewing vehicles or on bush walks.
You are offered personalized safaris allowing you to set your own pace for the day including the type and length of each activity.
The Zambezi River is host to fresh water sport fishing with plentiful Tigerfish and Tilapia amongst many others. Both spinning and fly fishing are available, but strictly on a catch and release basis in accordance with the principles of the National Park.
The vast abundance of bird life would delight any keen twitcher.
