I'm a pretty frugal traveler, and I normally avoid luxury hotels. Not only are they usually outside my budget, but with luxury hotels, I expect a certain amount of "snootiness," both from the staff and the clientelle. I can feel out of place. But a friend who lives in Lusaka insisted that my partner and I end our two weeks... more

Isolated site on the Zambesi River, superb individual tent/cabins. Lovely bar and dining area overlooking the river. Sunset cruise on the river is a must. Car and driver/guide to take you wherever you wish in Livingstone: the Falls, elephant ride, museum, shopping malls. Staff superbly trained, food is elegant. One of the highlights of our African safari. more

It is difficult to put into words how enjoyable our trip was to the Island of Siankaba. The service was great - everyone was willing to make sure your stay was exactly what you wanted and created an unforgettable experience.

I have been in a fortunate position of being able to stay twice at The Islands of Siankaba and both times had a magical stay. Each bedroom was beautifully furnished and has its own deck overlooking the Zambezi River. All the staff were friendly and attentive to all our needs and the food was excellent. I also had the privilege... more

The amazingly well-trained staff were most attentive, well turned-out and all had a most pleasant demeanour. The food can be described as nouveau cuizine, exceptionally well-presented utilising a creative combination of flavours. A memorably stylish picnic luncheon was served at a beautifully set table on an adjacent island. The relaxation areas near the bar were well-appointed, allowing for small or... more

I have to say the food is some of the best I've ever had. The rooms are beautiful, you are surrounded by luxury and nature at the same time. The open tents are a one of a kind experience, the bathtub was very romantic with old fashion touches and the turn down service was a perfect way to end a... more

Just spent a magical 3 days at Siankaba. What a wonderful place. Excellent management, great attention to detail and outstanding food. The chef really went out of his way to prepare delicious and unusual dishes and our fellow travellers raved about the meals. Rooms were great and in keeping with the overall ambiance of being on the Zambezi river. The... more

I stayed at the Islands of Siankaba and was bitterly disappointed by this lodge. First of all, it is far away from Livingston and takes +/- 40 minutes to get to the lodge over bumpy, dusty and a potholded road. The welcome drink was a waterey over-sugared drink and there was no explanation of the facilities. The pool, when I... more

Feedback of any sort is always welcomed and actioned. It is most unfortunate that we were unable to please our guest on this occassion. It should be noted however that this person was part of a group of 7 other travellers all of whom absolutely loved the lodge. I am so happy that our service was rated highly becuase obviously...
