Stylish elegant *****lodge in the Zambezi River<\/h2>\n

The Islands of Siankaba Luxury Lodge<\/strong> is located on two private islands in the middle of the mighty Zambezi<\/strong> River, between the seventh wonder of the world – the Victoria Falls<\/strong> – and the world famous Chobe National Park.<\/strong> The two islands are connected by walkways.<\/p>\n

Seven riverside chalets, one of which is made of canvas and teak, are a long way from each other, all with a private deck with fantastic views of the river. Rooms are spacious and luxurious and have ceiling fans and a mini bar. The romantic en-suite bathrooms feature a large bath and a separate shower. The comfortable beds with down duvets and pillows are positioned so that you wake up in the morning overlooking the rising sun above the Zambezi.<\/p>\n

Chef Gerard Siboli has been associated with the lodge since it opened in 2002. The herbs and vegetables he uses in his dishes come mainly from a local community garden initiated by the lodge. Its ever-changing special menus will not leave your taste buds untouched.<\/p>\n

The Islands of Siankaba Luxury Lodge is the perfect retreat for discerning travelers who want to enjoy a tranquil natural environment of exceptional beauty far from the crowds.<\/p>\n
