Capturing the authentic African bush camp experience in true Tongabezi luxury and style, Sindabezi Island is ‘nature therapy’ for the soul.
Enjoy views of the Zambezi River floodplain and Victoria Falls National Park from your open-fronted Chalet, knowing your only neighbours are the resident wildlife. Quiet hang-out spots and the main camp beckon you to unwind amidst the tranquillity of this tiny isle, just 12km upstream from Victoria Falls.
With zero grid dependence, Sindabezi is one of Africa’s top 10 eco lodges according to Fodor's. So the only footprints you will leave behind are in the island’s silky soft sand.
Our Story
Our five thatched Chalets are designed to blend into the Zambezi wilderness, bringing elements of nature indoors so that you are completely immersed in island living whenever possible.

Mosi-oa-Tunya, or Victoria Falls, is celebrated as one of the world’s iconic natural wonders. Fly, swim, raft, or simply gaze in awe at the most dramatic part of the mighty Zambezi River.
ExploreWhere else do you travel to and from your lodge in a speed boat, game and bird watching on the way. Our room was large with wonderful views overlooking the river and stunning sunsets. In the morning, our butler brought our tea, but we were already up and watching the large variety of beautiful birds. The food was great and more than plentiful with lovely fresh vegetables and salads all grown at Tongabezi. - The Cahills
