Sindabezi Island Lodge is in Livingstone Zambia for visiting Victoria Falls.
About Sindabezi Island Lodge
Set on our very own private isle on the Zambezi River, Sindabezi Island Lodge is the only luxury bush camp from which Victoria Falls can comfortably be explored.
Experience a myriad of activities during the day and return to a tranquil haven, a thousand light years away from the bustle at night.
Sindabezi Island is currently ranked among the top 10 eco-lodges in Africa according to Fodor's.
Accommodation
Sindabezi has only five open-sided thatched cottages, allowing guests to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush in a perfect, pristine setting.
With views across the floodplains of the Zambezi and into the nearby National Park, the experience is truly unforgettable.
Many guests combine their stay at Sindabezi with a visit to our sister property, Tongabezi Lodge, which is just a short boat ride away.
Chalets
Sindabezi Island Lodge can accommodate up to 10 guests in five open-fronted thatched chalets, each featuring wooden decks overlooking the Zambezi River.
Each room is uniquely decorated with hurricane lamps that create a romantic atmosphere when lit, as well as canvas that can be lowered to close the room at night.
Two of the rooms offer breathtaking views of the sunset over the Zambezi River, while the other three provide stunning vistas of the sunrise over the floodplains.
The lodge has a rustic feel with no electricity.
Every room is equipped with flush toilets and hot bucket showers on demand, providing ample water for a refreshing long shower.
The two honeymoon chalets also feature romantic baths.
The island manager and dedicated team of staff not only act as hosts but also attend to every need, ensuring that guests enjoy a truly unforgettable experience.
Chalet Details
Sindabezi Chalet One
Chalet One is the sole chalet on the south side of the island.
It boasts a wonderful view across the bubbling channels of the Zambezi River to Victoria Falls National Park, where wildlife such as elephants, impalas, and wildebeests come to quench their thirst.
In the evening, guests can enjoy the first round of sundowners in their large private bubble bath, filled with piping hot water courtesy of our state-of-the-art solar heaters.
Sindabezi Island Chalets Two & Three
Chalets Two and Three are nestled on the northern banks of the island.
They feature solar-heated showers and distinctive 'loos with a view' set along private wooden walkways.
Although these chalets are perfectly secluded, the island is also suitable for families or groups considering a private booking.
Chalets Two and Three can accommodate both double and twin arrangements.
Sindabezi Island Chalet Four
Chalet Four offers a lovely view upstream and is ideal for spotting hippos wallowing in the river.
At night, a trail of hurricane lamps lights the way back to the chalet across the soft sand.
A luxuriously inviting canopied bed ensures a wonderful night's sleep as the Zambezi winds its way downstream to the Falls far below.
Like all chalets on the island, the water is solar-heated, and Chalet Four can be booked as either a double or twin.
Sindabezi Island Honeymoon Chalet
Chalet Five, our 'Honeymoon' chalet, is situated on a secluded sandy shore at the end of the island.
The brand new old-fashioned clawfoot bath is perfect for two. Thanks to our solar paneling, hot water and ambient bedside lighting are assured.
The entire Sindabezi Island is romantically lit with traditional hurricane lamps and candles.
