Sausage Tree Safari Camp – Greater Kruger National Park

Sausage Tree Safari Camp is situated in the Olifants West Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park and sanctuary to Africa’s famous Big Five. We have over 3500ha of traversing, including 5kms along the Olifants River and you can look forward to a true safari experience of wilderness and undisturbed biodiversity. All of this plus easy accessibility as we are only 25 minutes away from our local town of Hoedspruit.

Uniquely positioned in the bush between Marula, Acacia and Sausage trees with its own special view above and beyond the thorn trees, our waterhole and the majestic Drakensburg range on the horizon, Sausage Tree Safari Camp is a place not easily forgotten!

A small, intimate, luxury tented camp in the Greater Kruger National Park where the Big 5 still roam freely. The Olifants River flows all year round through the reserve with healthy populations of hippo and crocodile, as well as a huge diversity of bird species including the elusive Pels Fishing Owl.

Our luxury, African-styled Safari tents are comfortably furnished with bathrooms en-suite, featuring a freestanding bath and an outside shower on a raised base for maximizing your views of the bush and the mountains. Air conditioning, fan, and tea and coffee facilities make it a definitive ‘glamping’ experience with the advantage that staying in a tented camp has, bringing the sounds of nature so much closer to you.

Our energetic staff are highly experienced, dedicated and passionate, as our guest reviews reflect. Their attention to detail will ensure your stay is ultimately relaxing and memorable, from  Pitso and Kabelo's outstanding cuisine, to our welcoming front-of -house teams’ personal service, local knowledge and friendliness. 

Our guide and tracker teams will not only find you incredible animal sightings but will interpret what you see with fun filled facts, underpinned by their exhaustive knowledge, passion and respect for nature thereby making certain your Safari experience is an authentic one.

A variety of interesting, local tours are also available around the Hoedspruit area, including a private, guided day tour to the famous Kruger National Park itself.

Sausage Tree Safari Camp is a sustainability beacon. Solar-powered, we minimize our Olifants West Reserve impact. We employ local staff, procure nearby, and clear alien plants while nurturing indigenous flora.

We're educators, sharing local knowledge and culture. We support Rhino Revolution, Rocking 4 Rhinos, and the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit, safeguarding rhinos. Every guest reservation results in a R50 donation to the Daktari Bush School and Wildlife Orphanage that does such good work incentivising pupils from underfunded local community schools. We also promote tours to the Nourish Village self sustainability project.
