Potato Bushcamp

Family House

The Family House at Potato Bush Camp is a spacious, private unit designed for families or small groups, set to take full advantage of the views over the Zambezi.

The house consists of two en-suite bedrooms positioned on either side of a large central living area, creating a practical layout that allows for both shared space and privacy. Each bedroom includes twin showers, twin basins and a claw-foot bathtub, with the option to add extra beds if required.

The central area features a comfortable lounge, dining space and a fully stocked bar and fridge, making it well suited to guests who prefer to spend time in their own space.

Outside, a wide deck runs along the front of the house and includes a private plunge pool, all overlooking the river.

The Family House works particularly well for families or groups of up to four adults, offering a generous amount of space, good facilities and a private, self-contained setup within camp.

Safari Tents

The Safari Tents at Potato Bush Camp are set along the Zambezi River, offering spacious and comfortable accommodation with good views over the water.

Each tent is well sized and designed with a focus on comfort, featuring an en-suite bathroom with twin showers, twin basins and a full-sized claw-foot bathtub. The bedrooms are set with either king or twin beds, all under large mosquito nets, and are equipped with fans for added comfort.

Large folding doors open onto a private deck, which includes a plunge pool and hammock, creating a relaxed outdoor space overlooking the river.

There are three tents in total (two doubles and one twin), making them suitable for both couples and friends travelling together.

These tents are a good option for guests looking for a balance of space, comfort and a traditional safari feel, with the added benefit of private outdoor areas and strong river views.

This camp is set on the adjacent plot to its sister-camp Sausage Tree so it shares the same excellent location in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park.  As with Sausage Tree it offers exclusive activities to all guests and free flights to boot but it has been cleverly set at a noticeably lower price-point meaning that the company is able to attract a wider variety of clientele.

The camp, although tented is relatively contemporary in design, the rooms / tents are built on raised plinths with canvas walls and large windows, each has it’s own verandah with double hammock and small plunge pool, the feel is very much of cream canvas trimmed with rosewood and it’s a look and feel that I think works very well.

There are 3 standard rooms with the 4th being a family suite hosting 2 en-suite rooms and a central sitting / dining area again with it’s own pool, obviously this unit is ideal for families but will work just as well for 2 couples travelling together.

The activities from this camp are similar to any other Lower Zambezi camp, the location within the Park is great for game-viewing and fishing is good in this region of the river.
