What to Expect
The lodge is located about 48 kilometres upstream from Victoria Falls, and is accessed by road from the Zambian side of the river and a five-minute boat transfer from the shore. Expect five-star exclusivity with a touch of romantic, Swiss Family Robinson style, complete with swing bridges and raised boardwalks linking the islands. Remain moored here, deeply relaxed, or venture into Livingstone for the best views of Victoria Falls and some high-adrenalin activities.
With its intimate setting on the Zambezi and its proximity to the majestic Victoria Falls, Islands of Siankaba promises an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Africa. Engage in various activities, including Mokoro trips, community tourism, fishing, and sunset cruises, to enhance your experience at this extraordinary destination.
Highlights
Seven chalets are accessed via a network of boardwalks and swing bridges. Each room is raised on a deck two metres above the river, with wooden floors and canvas walls. Interiors are welcoming, with netted double or twin beds facing the river. (Electric blankets are supplied to ward off the chill!) Colonial-style en-suite bathrooms have double basins, a free-standing bathtub, shower and toilet. But it’s the large secluded terrace overlooking the river that is the crowning glory of each room.
Cruising the river is a must. Take morning and sunset boat rides to experience the full spectrum of life the Zambezi has to offer. Incredible birdlife, water-dwelling hippo and crocs, elephant and antelope on the banks – there’s certainly plenty to see. Want to get out on foot? Follow the islands’ network of trails on your own or with a guide. Try catch-and-release angling (in season), or head to Livingstone to see Vic Falls and enjoy the gorge’s dizzying activities.
- Siankaba is about a 50 minute drive’s distance from the Falls, therefore, paying a visit an easily-incorporated activity.
- There is a 1.5km nature trail which runs round one of the islands, along the cleverly condtructed boardwalks.
- Guests have the option to appreciate the wonder of Victoria Falls from a helicopter or microlight.
- Close proximity to Chobe National Park.
