With years of experience to our names, we have an eye for quirk and would prefer to offer you intelligent simplicity over impersonal luxury. We travel extensively in search of what’s really worth doing, rather than just what makes a good photograph.

The childish delight of alighting from a boat on your own river island, bare feet in the sand, the gentle lapping of shallow rapids nearby and the calls of kingfishers. Sound like paradise? It's pretty close...
If you had just one day in Africa and wanted to see as much as possible, you’d hang out by a river. A plethora of birds and animals rely on the rich vegetation for food, and of course, regularly visit to drink. Trees are often magnificent along rivers, and the gentle lapping of the water is as good as any therapy. You can find wild excitement in the rapids, while a gentle afternoon fishing in the dappled shallows, with a cool box close at hand, can be truly mellow.
The Zambezi has a few well-hidden little islands on which you can maroon yourself, like Sindabezi and the Islands of Siankaba. Often reached only by boat or dug-out canoe, you relax or explore and feast your senses on the river’s many facets. For visitors to Chobe or Victoria Falls, these little gems are often a restful choice, away from the busier attractions.
When you can open your eyes and look out over a river running right below your wooden balcony and all you can hear are the sounds of hornbills and the shallow rapids nearby, you really do feel as though you’ve properly escaped. It only takes a few minutes by boat to reach this little spot but the psychological jump is huge... the idea of kicking of your shoes and spending the afternoon in a hammock seems like the best idea in the world.

Sindabezi is one those places that you want to tell all your friends about and at the same time keep entirely to yourself. It is the type of place where time stands still for a while and where you can shed shoes and caste away your watch for a few days, just watching the river slide gently by. The team do everything to reinforce the relaxed pace. You can chat with the chef about what you would like to eat, hole yourself up on the island or venture over to Tongabezi for boat trips or visits to the falls and Livingstone Island. Read more?
Rumour has it that Catherine Ronan used to be a spy. We find this slightly hard to believe as she loves nothing more than to divulge her travel secrets and infect other people with her enthusiasm.
