About Sausage Tree Camp

The Lower Zambezi National Park is still quite undeveloped, a pristine area that has been relatively saved against the ravages of mass tourism. At its heart, found along the Zambezi river banks, is Sausage Tree Camp. The wildlife may not be as diverse as other areas, but when you have your feet immersed in the waters of the Zambezi while seated around the table for a bush lunch or are canoeing along the river banks with elephants bathing alongside you, this exquisite camp will overwhelmingly charm you and you will want to return time and time again.
