Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips
  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Accommodation in Zambia: Sausage Tree Camp

Our Rating: Deluxe

Sausage Tree Camp

The Lower Zambezi National Park

Sausage Tree Camp has a lovely situation overlooking the Zambezi's floodplains and grassy islands.

There are often buffalo grazing on the islands and crocodiles in the sandy channels. The camp is situated on a high sandy bank in which bee-eaters often nest. It's a luxurious camp in a fabulously wild location.

Sausage Tree has seven stylish tents under mahogany and sausage trees. Open on one side, the tents have polished stone floors, large beds with wonderfully comfy mattresses, antique telephones (the network extends as far as the bar) and open air bathrooms where you can view the river from your shower.

Each guest room has 24 hour power for the lights and overheads fans and powerpoints for charging camera batteries. In the main lodge there is an airy living room with lots of books and dining room where exquisite meals are prepared.

Activities at Sausage Tree are incredibly varied. You can enjoy boat trips on the river, game drives, guided walks and fishing. A particular highlight is a morning canoe trip down the gorgeous channel adjacent to the camp, dodging hippo as you go.

The camp is situated in the heart of the park and is surrounded by some particularly pretty game loops. There is now a full-time massage therapist on site who offers guests a range of locally payable treatments including aromatherapy, reflexology, shiatsu and hot stone therapy massage.
