Sausage Tree Camp - Zambia

Sausage Tree Camp | World's best safari camps | Bucket List Travels

"A white-tented, romantic camp right on the Zambezi River, the Sausage Tree is ideal for guests who like their Western luxuries such as private pools (in suites) and gourmet food, as well as varied safari experiences. It sits right on the river, shaded by trees, with pretty, reed-lined channels to canoe along and watch birds – or crocs. The crystal-clear swimming pool overlooks the river, surrounded by decking: a great spot to cool down and watch the Zambezi flow by. Few camps have pools – Sausage Tree has four (three private, one communal). The setting is stunning – overlooking a reed bank with extraordinary sunset views – and is right in the park, hence the range of game that ambles between the tents. Tents are as comfy as any hotel room, and romance comes in the form of four-poster beds, private pools and glowing-red sunsets. Meals, however, are communal. The camp’s Australian and Italian owners clearly care about food: while many camps are content to provide good home-cooked food, Sausage Tree goes a step further, creating delicious, inventive meals.
