Zambia

Sindabezi Island

PLAN MY TRIP

Located on a private island on the Zambezi River, Sindabezi Island is a luxury bush camp close to the world-famous Victoria Falls.

Intimate and exclusive accommodations consist of only five open-sided thatched chalets on the entire island perched on stilted wooden decks. Chalet One is the sole room on the south side of the island and enjoys views across the Zambezi to Victoria Falls National Park. It is perfect for couples with a twin/double bed and large private bath heated by solar power. Chalets Two and Three are on the northern banks and sleep up to two people in a twin/double. These rooms have solar heated showers, and distinctive ‘toilets with a view’ set along private wooden walkways. Chalet four not only has lovely views upstream but also feature a romantic canopied bed. The Honeymoon Chalet sits on a secluded sandy beach and includes a claw-footed tub big enough for two. All the chalets have their own private deck.

The lodge is situated on the mighty Zambezi River just minutes from Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This awe-inspiring natural wonder is where the Zambezi River drops more than 328 feet into the Batoka Gorge forming the falls itself. Named after Queen Victoria by Scottish explorer and missionary, David Livingston, the falls are often referred to as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” or the Smoke that Thunders. At 1 mile wide, it is the largest curtain of falling water in the world. Historically rich, evidence of dinosaur remains from over 200 hundred years ago as well as late stone age tools have been found here.

The camp offers a wide variety of inclusive activities excluding museum and park fees. Most visitors come for the tour to Victoria Falls. Daily game drives are conducted by expert rangers in an open-vehicle. Sunrise or sunset boat trips down the Zambezi on a powerboat include snacks and sundowners. Canoeing trips give a closer glimpse of the game-rich river as well as fishing opportunities. Visits to the Livingstone Museum teach about Zambia’s culture and natural heritage. For more cultural experiences, guests can travel to Simonga Village, the school at Tujatane, the bizarre at Maramba, or the curio market at Mukuni Park. Other non-inclusive activities that can be booked through the camp include helicopter flights, elephant safaris, trips on the Livingstone Express train, and jet boats shooting the rapids.

The camp has been voted one of the top ten eco-lodges in Africa by Fodor’s. The camp uses solar power and paraffin lamps as well as biodegradable soaps, shampoos, and cleaning supplies. Delicious meals are cooked up the chef using fresh, sustainable local ingredients many picked from the camp’s own gardens and orchards. Guests can choose to dine privately in their chalet or publicly on one of three open-air dining decks. For a little more adventure, meals can be eaten on a Sampan anchored offshore in the Zambezi River, attended by waiters who deliver each course by canoe.
