A hidden leafy island surrounded by the shallow rapids of the upper Zambezi. A place where you can shed worries with your shoes and really feel you've escaped.
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.
Five lovely tents look out over the rocks and eddies of the Zambezi and there are comfy chairs in the shade where burying yourself in a book seems inevitable. White sand underfoot adds to that castaway feeling; this and the fact that you can lie in bed and just watch the river for hours with no real reason to go anywhere or do anything. If you don’t leave here in a state of utter relaxation, there is no hope for you.
Sindabezi is perfect for groups that like their own company or families who want to dictate their own pace. It is definitely not just a Vic Falls destination so allow the time to enjoy the island and think about combining it with something a little closer if you really want to make the most of all that the falls has to offer.

Livingstone is the little town from which visitors to Zambia can visit the Victoria Falls, relax on the Zambezi or indulge in the multitude of crazy adrenalin activities available. Unlike Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwea which is within easy walking distance of the Falls, Livingstone is about 6km from the Falls itself and you need to get in a car to get there. Whether the Falls is best viewed from Zambia or Zimbabwe is a rather subjective issue and depends on who you talk to and the time of year. From Zambia, you look along the gorge and the area of the Falls immediately in front of the Zambian view points can dry up at certain times of the year. Both countries suffer when the river is in spate as you see an awful lot of spray and not much of the falls themselves...you also get a free shower. Read more?
