Overview

Potato Bush Camp lies adjacent to it's sister camp, the world-renowned Sausage Tree Camp. With a stunning panoramic view overlooking the Zambezi River and escarpment, this site is nestled under Mahogany, Sausage, Winter Thorn and Acacia Tortillas Trees, which provide excellent shade. Potato Bush Camp is comprised of three well-appointed Canvas and Rosewood Safari Tents and also a 2-bedroom Family Tent (similar to the very popular Kigelia House at Sausage Tree Camp).

To complement the accommodation there is an open plan dining, bar and lounge area, which is accessed by all four Tents by way of raised timber boardwalks. This also enables the camp to stay open from the 1st of April through to early January, when the heavy rains really start. The camp hugely benefits from the nearby strong foundations, infrastructure and service levels that have been built up over the past 17 years by Sausage Tree Camp.

Potato Bush Camp offers professionally guided game drives, scenic canoeing and boat trips, educational walking safaris, exciting night drives and, of course, we love to fish.

We look forward with continued pride and enthusiasm to welcoming you, as our guest, to Potato Bush Camp this coming season

Family House (2 bedrooms)

The Two-bedroom Family House is a massive 21m wide perfectly designed "safari tent".   This offers a huge central living area, dining and balcony area which divides the two bedrooms.  Both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms with twin showers, twin basins and large four-claw bath tubs (with a view).

Perfect for any family or party of 4 adults.

Potato Bush Camp sets high standards in the new era for small exclusive luxury tented safari camps!   This African contemporary design perfectly balances the raw structural integrity and natural beauty of solid Zambian Rosewood and dramatically compliments the use of traditional canvas.

The entire camp is linked with raised timber walkways, making it slightly more safer than walking on the ground and also aids in extending the operating season in the Lower Zambezi National Park through to early January every year.

The "Boma" can comfortably dine 12 guests and there is a well stocked bar and two comfortable lounge areas for guests to relax and enjoy the stunning views over the mighty Zambezi River.   The camp fire is well positioned under the stars, right on the edge of the river bank and is the only place one actually touches the ground.
