Where to Stay

Sausage Tree Camp

from $1,820 per person per night for 2026/27

Refurbished and completely luxurious accommodation in the Lower Zambezi

If you are looking for complete luxury, with coffee machines, private plunge pools, huge rooms and air conditioning, this is the place for you! The camp has just had a significant refurbishment so the rooms are simply stunning but the original sausage tree (the one it is named after), is still stood tall in front of the camp.

Extremely luxurious plunge pools, air con, beautiful rooms, outdoor showers

Not a ‘rustic’ safari feel

Wildlife & Activities at Sausage Tree Camp

The location offers an ease of safari activities including walking safaris, day game drives, night game drives (with sundowners to start the drive), canoeing, fishing and boat safaris. Something that is unique to Sausage Tree Camp is that they offer lunches out on the shallow parts in the river; they set up a table and chairs and as you eat your lunch, your feet are dipped into the Zambezi River! Of course shallow and safe areas are strategically selected beforehand!
