Location:
 |
The Jewel of the Zambezi. Zambia's most private and
secluded river side lodge. The Islands of Siankaba Lodge
comprises of two densely forested sand islands in the Zambezi River
near the Siansimba Rapids. It is located 24 miles upstream from the
Victoria Falls and just 30 miles from the World famous Chobe Game
Park in Botswana. |

|
Accommodation:
|
The
Islands of Siankaba have been developed as a luxurious five star
lodge, exclusively sleeping just twelve guests. The two islands are
linked by a suspension bridge leading to an overhead walkway in the
tree canopy connecting to the elevated chalets.
The
design and landscaping of all the facilities incorporates the use of
natural materials that blend in with the feel of the surrounding
bush and takes full advantage of the beauty of the riverine site. |
 |
 |
The chalets have been uniquely designed following definitive
market research into traveller's needs, encompassing a range of
twin or double bedded options.
They are constructed of teak and custom made canvas tenting and
are raised well above ground level into the tree canopy with
their balconies extending out over the river. They are linked by
a winding over-head walkway so that our guests do not actually
walk on the islands surface in order to protect the fragile
riverine environment. |
|
|
Facilities:
|
Finishing is of an extremely high standard using imported fittings
to compliment the natural feel of the construction materials used.
All
chalets are opulently finished and equipped with en-suite bathrooms,
(ball and claw baths and separate shower), mini bar, large mosquito
nets, ceiling fan and private safe. |
 |
 |
Fishing
is good, with Tiger fishing featuring prominently in the warmer months.
Birding in and around the lodge is superb.
Resident wildlife, such as
hippopotamus and elephant, is likely to wander through the Lodge grounds
at any time, since in the National Park they have priority.
A wide choice of activities
adds to the attractions of this elegant, secluded retreat. |
