Accommodation is in six luxurious white Bedouin style tents, discreetly positioned along the riverbank. Local materials are utilized to create a minimalist style in which the reddish brown teak furniture including, sumptuous four-poster beds, contrast crisply and cleanly with pure white fabrics and flowing white mosquito nets. Nearly hidden from one another, and shaded by mature Sausage and Mahogany trees, the tents are cool, private sanctuaries to return to after an early morning game drive and for a good nights rest.

Each tent has a private open-air en-suite bathroom, which has become a distinct trademark for this world-renowned tented safari camp.

Sleeping only 12 guests, Sausage Tree Camp offers a truly personalized safari experience. Each tent has its own personal Muchinda (butler) to attend to your every whim. Devoid of fences, elephant and other game frequently walk through camp, allowing guests to enjoy game experiences from the comfort of their tents.
