Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma, named after David Livingstone's two companions Sussi and Chuma, is a treehouse-style lodge built into the riverbank tree canopy on a bend of the Zambezi in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Its 12 circular Sussi tree-houses are aimed at couples, while the two larger Chuma houses are villa-style units with a dedicated chef and guide, aimed at families or small groups.
What sets it apart
A genuine treehouse format, plus two private villa units with their own dedicated staff — an unusual combination on this list.
Who it suits
Couples wanting the treehouses; families or groups wanting a private Chuma house.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
