Sausage Tree Camp

About Sausage Tree Camp

Sausage Tree Camp gives you a stay in the Lower Zambezi that feels private, polished, and very closely tied to the river setting around it. Looking out over the Zambezi inside Lower Zambezi National Park, it is a strong choice if you want something that feels exclusive without losing the safari atmosphere. The riverfront location adds a lot to the experience, and with activities on land and water, the whole stay feels full without ever feeling rushed. 

When to visit

Jul. to Oct. is the prime window for Sausage Tree Camp, with dry weather, open access, and excellent wildlife activity along the Zambezi.

Most popular: July - October

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring, from Sep. to Nov., is hot, dry, and increasingly dramatic, with lower water, thinner vegetation, and stronger wildlife concentration along the river. September and October are especially rewarding for classic Lower Zambezi safari intensity, while November signals the start of the seasonal change toward rain.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer, from Dec. to Feb., is the wet season, bringing greener riverbanks, fuller channels, and a more tropical atmosphere around camp. The scenery is rich and beautiful, but rainfall is higher and this is not the easiest period for the classic dry-season safari feel.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn, from Mar. to May., is a transitional season when the rains ease and the landscape remains lush, vivid, and photogenic. Conditions improve steadily through late autumn, making it an attractive shoulder period before the main dry-season safari window takes over.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter, from Jun. to Aug., is one of the best times to stay at Sausage Tree Camp, with cool mornings, almost no rain, and polished conditions for drives, canoeing, boating, and riverside relaxation. The weather is easier, the bush opens up, and the Zambezi becomes an even stronger focal point for wildlife.

Getting There

From central Lusaka, the easiest route is usually by light aircraft into the Lower Zambezi area, followed by the final transfer to camp. Sausage Tree Camp sits inside Lower Zambezi National Park on the Zambezi River, and arrivals commonly include a boat transfer across the river for the last part of the journey.
