The Lower Zambezi, where Sausage Tree Camp is situated, is a key national park of Zambia and lies between the rugged and dramatic Zambezi escarpment and the wide and spectacular Zambezi River.

Each of the 7 luxury suites is a spacious island of cool minimalist style serviced by a Muchinda (private butler).

On landing a representative of Luangwa River Camp will be waiting to welcome guests and transfer them by open game vehicle to camp.

Luangwa River Camp is situated in the heart of one of the last unspoiled wilderness areas, and one of the most perfect spots on earth; the banks of the Luangwa River at the end of the Great Rift Valley.

This small and intimate camp with just 5 bush suites, along with its setting and location creates a real ‘’wow’’ factor and a romantic feeling simply flows through the camp.
