Sausage Tree

Sausage Tree Camp is set along a broad stretch of the Zambezi River, shaded by mature sausage trees and surrounded by riverine forest that draws wildlife throughout the day. As one of the original camps in the Lower Zambezi, it has a settled, lived-in feel that comes from years of operating in the same landscape. The camp is comfortable rather than showy, with a layout that encourages guests to spend time outdoors, watching the river and the movement of animals along its banks.

Safari experiences here are shaped by variety. Game drives explore the interior of the park, where elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard are regularly seen, while walking safaris focus on tracks, behavior, and the smaller details of the ecosystem. Canoeing and boating on the Zambezi are central to the experience, offering a quiet, eye-level way to encounter wildlife and birdlife along the river. This mix allows days to feel full but never repetitive.

What we appreciate most about Sausage Tree Camp is its easygoing rhythm. The guiding is confident and unforced, and the atmosphere remains friendly and unpretentious, making it easy to settle in quickly. Time here naturally balances activity with downtime, whether relaxing by the river or sharing stories in the evening. For travelers looking for a classic Lower Zambezi safari with strong guiding and a relaxed sense of place, Sausage Tree Camp remains a reliable and rewarding choice.
