General information

Sindabezi Island is a private island paradise nestled in the waters of the Zambezi, upstream of the Victoria Falls. Not only is it is the only African bush camp in the area, but the island is also the only bush camp that can be enjoyed exclusively as a private booking.

Sindabezi Island sleeps only ten people, in five open fronted thatched chalets dotted around the shores of the island. The island is very rustic in style with no electricity, wood fires and hot bucket showers on demand. The unique design of the chalets allows you to encounter up close all the sights and sounds of the river and the creatures that live in and around it, including regular visits from Horace, the resident hippo. At night, you will fall asleep in the glow of a hurricane lamp and be awoken by magnificent sunrises over the flood plains of the river.

Sindabezi Island is ideal for a Honeymoon safari or for families or a small party looking for complete privacy and is particularly good value. Taking the island privately ensures a private guide, boat and vehicle. You can still do all your activities as at the main Tongabezi lodge, but with an added 20 minute scenic boat transfer to and from Sindabezi.

Location

Sindabezi Island is about 20km upstream from the fabulous Victoria Falls on the (Zambian side) of the Zambezi River. Sindabezi Island is a private island a short boat ride away.

The Island

Your stay at Sindabezi Island Camp begins with either a short boat ride or a guided canoe trip down the Zambezi to the island. Along the way there are lots of opportunities for game viewing, as you pass close to the shores where many animals wander from the Zambezi National Park to water at the river’s edge. The main camp area is set on the sand and is the perfect place just to relax, unwind and simply enjoy the peace and tranquility of this tiny island. The staff are always on hand to guarantee your every comfort. At night, the main camp is transformed into a world of yesteryear, with the absence of electricity adding to the romance and charm of this magical island. Five star dining on the sand, under the canopy of stars, with the river meandering past and the unmistakable sounds of hippos wallowing nearby, assure an experience never to be forgotten.

Rooms

Sindabezi Island Camp sleeps only ten people in five thatched cottages dotted around the shores of the island. Each of the cottages has open fronts facing onto the river allowing you to encounter the African Bush and its sights and sounds. The cottages have every amenity you could wish for including a sundeck, outside heated shower, canopied bed and ‘loo with a view’.
