Potato Bush Camp
About Potato Bush Camp
Potato Bush Camp is a classic tented camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park, set among winterthorn and potato trees on the Zambezi's floodplain. Safari tents and a family house offer an authentic, under-canvas feel, with game drives, canoe safaris, fishing, and walking all on the doorstep. It is a more grounded, safari-purist alternative to the park's most expensive camps, with superb river-front wildlife.
Why we like it
Authentic, river-front tented camp with a genuine bush feel and excellent value for the Lower Zambezi.
