Sausage Tree Camp


















Overview
Effortless elegance on the Zambezi’s edge
Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Africa’s last great wildernesses — raw, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful. Set on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, Sausage Tree Camp offers an intimate encounter with this untamed land, embodying understated luxury and authentic safari spirit.
Shaded by mature sausage and mahogany trees, the camp is a sanctuary where wildlife roams freely. Elephants and hippos wander through camp, while lions, leopards, and buffalo move along the riverbanks and beyond, offering front-row seats to nature’s theater.
Sausage Tree Camp’s seven Luxury Suites are designed for complete privacy, each with sweeping gauze windows, an expansive deck, a private plunge pool, and dedicated butler service. For families or small groups, Kigelia House provides an exclusive-use option with two en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan lounge, and a private pool overlooking the river.
Days unfold with tailored experiences: private game drives (day and night), guided walking safaris, canoeing through quiet channels, catch-and-release fishing, and serene boat safaris. Evenings bring al fresco dining under the stars, where the river soundtrack sets an unforgettable scene.
Sausage Tree Camp promises refined adventure and soulful connection — a perfect choice for honeymooners, couples, and discerning travelers seeking privacy and immersion in the wild.

South africa honeymoon
"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."

south africa safari
"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless. I wouldn’t plan another trip to Africa without them."
