Sindabezi Island Lodge, Victoria Falls

With five charming thatched chalets, a beautiful white beach and enchanting views of Africa’s wildlife, a stay at Sindabezi is always a spectacular. Perched on stilted wooden decks, all of the open-fronted chalets command full river views. The explorer-style interiors are incredibly inviting with their canopied beds, locally sourced wooden furnishings and cool river breezes. At night, the entire island is romantically lit with lamps and candles – a beautiful accompaniment to the starry skies above.

With no set itineraries, you’ll set the pace for each of your days on Sindabezi Island. From lazy sunrise boat cruises to tiger fishing, birdwatching, game drives and romantic island picnics, there’s laidback and adventurous pursuits alike. Guests are also invited to partake in all the activities available at sister property Tongabezi, just a short boat ride away.

The lodge lies just 12km upstream from the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls, making for easy exploration. And what better way to end each day than with dinner on a floating river sampan, or by sharing stories around the campfire.
