The
Islands of Siankaba is the most classic of forested retreats, with six
secluded chalets linked by a foot bridge to a haute cuisine restaurant,
all on two untouched islands in the mighty Zambezi River between the
'Seventh Wonder of the Natural World', the magnificent Victoria Falls, and
the world famous Chobe National Park.
The Islands of Siankaba comprises of two densely forested sand islands in
the Zambezi River near the Siansimba Rapids. They are located 24 miles
upstream from the Victoria Falls and just 30 miles from Chobe Game Park. The
Islands of Siankaba have been developed as a luxurious tented camp,
exclusively sleeping just twelve guests.
The two islands are linked by a suspension bridge and overhead walkway in
the tree canopy.
Accommodation
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.
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
Dining
One
of the distinctive features of the lodge is the excellence of its food and
wines developing a reputation for ‘haute-cuisine in the bush’ along with
its first class service. The up-market yet delightfully African dining
room and lounge offer an unique experience of perfect contemporary
comfort in a truly African setting. The fully stocked bar will cater for
your every need. Afternoon tea is served daily
on the main lodge decking, and allows the lodge's chef to tempt the pallet
with some of his masterful delights. The decking area also allows
one to enjoy unparallel views of the mighty river drifting by.
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.
