The 4092km² extent of the Lower Zambezi National Park is bordered by the Chiawa Game Management Area (GMA) in the west, Rufunsa Game Management Area in the east, the Zambezi River in the South, marking the international border with Zimbabwe, and the Great East Road in the North.
With a river frontage of about 120 kilometres (78 miles), the valley floor and the escarpment combined with the plateau gives the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia magnificent picturesque scenery, providing a memorable experience for any visitor.
Sausage Tree Camp is open in the best game viewing months, which is April to November; the end of the rainy season. The vegetation is lush at this time but as the season progresses the bush dries out, the game gathers and viewing improves.
Lake Kariba lies further along the Zambezi and is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. To the north there are several excellent game parks offering superb game viewing opportunities, as well as Lake Tanganyika, the world's second deepest lake and several other beautiful waterfalls.
How to get to Sausage Tree Camp
International arrivals into Zambia can be made through Lusaka, Livingstone and Mfuwe International Airports. Both Lusaka and Livingstone have daily flights from Johannesburg, South Africa, and Lusaka has direct flights from London every week.
An additional road transfer will transport guests from the bush airstrip to Sausage tree Camp. A road or boat transfer from Lusaka consists of a 2.5 hour drive to Chirundu, a border town on the Zambezi River, and then a scenic boat cruise down the river for 2 ½ hours until the Zambia safari lodge is reached.
