Potato Bush Camp lies adjacent to its sister camp, 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.
Accommodation at Potato Bush Camp comprises 3 well-appointed canvas and rosewood Safari Tents and also a 2-bedroom Family Tent.
The Safari Tents are very spacious and have en suite bathrooms with twin showers, twin basins and a full size four-claw bath tub. Large folding doors lead onto the large balcony which hosts a 2-person hammock and a private plunge pool, with well-appointed furniture to complement the ambiance and architecture of the safari tents. Two of the Luxury Safari Tents are furnished with king-size beds while the 3rd Safari Tent is a twin.
The 2-bedroom Family House is a 21m wide "safari tent" offering a large central living, 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). The Family House also features a plunge pool, fully stocked bar and fridge, private dining table and furniture that complements both the style of the tent and the surrounding environment. Extra beds can be added in any of the rooms.
All beds are covered with large walk around four-poster mosquito nets and each fitted with a fan. 24-hour electricity is supplied to all rooms for charging batteries, cameras, computers etc.
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. The boardwalks also enable the camp to stay open from the 1st of April through to early January, when the heavy rains really start.
Potato Bush Camp offers professionally guided game drives, scenic canoeing and boat trips, educational walking safaris, exciting night drives, and, of course, fishing.
