Around Victoria Falls

Islands of Siankaba

Set on two densely forested islands linked by suspension bridges in the middle of the Zambezi River upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls, Islands of Siankaba provides a luxurious haven in beautiful, secluded and peaceful surroundings. It would be the perfect beginning or end to a safari in Botswana or Zambia.

The seven stylish chalets are elevated in the trees with large decks overlooking the river, whilst the main lodge has a dining area, lounge, bar, library and small swimming pool in the shade of the forest canopy. Activities include sunset boat trips, mokoro trips, a nature trail and cultural visits to local schools and villages. Other excursions in the Livingstone area can be arranged.

Tongabezi

Set in a tranquil grove of African ebony trees on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi, a few miles upstream from the Victoria Falls, Tongabezi is one of Zambia's most exclusive lodges. It offers seclusion and comfort in beautiful surroundings where elephants come to drink on the opposite river bank and hippopotamus are seen.

The five luxury river and garden cottages and five open-plan thatched 'houses' all have verandas and en suite bathrooms with magnificent river views, and a private valet. Activities include journeys on the river, fishing, canoeing, guided birdwatching and river walks, mountain biking, and visits to the Victoria Falls and Livingstone Island on the very edge of the falls.
