Design

Escape from reality in a romantic River Cottage with panoramic windows, ceramic bathtub and a blissful river view impossible to tire of.  If you’re after even greater seclusion, escape to Sindabezi, an exclusive island in the heart of the Zambezi River. Surrounded by pristine African wilderness, just up-stream from the iconic Victoria Falls, you will share this idyllic isle with just four other chalets. Whichever accommodation you choose, all your needs will be catered for by your own private valet, who’s flawless service will keep you in maximum comfort for the duration of your stay.

Culinary Experience

Dine on sumptuous seasonal produce grown onsite, while sinking your toes into the sand beneath your feet or immerse yourself in traditional Zambian cuisine from the comfort of your own private decking. Wherever you choose to enjoy your meal, the food and view will always be exceptional. As the sun sinks below the African Savannah, while you sip on a cocktail and peacefully cruise down the river, it’s difficult not be left speechless by the sheer beauty of this idyllic haven.

Sustainability

This accommodation is committed to sustainability in every aspect of its operation. It sources wood from sustainable sources and powers its facilities with solar energy, supplemented by paraffin. All cleaning products are biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact. A garden provides organic fruits and vegetables for onsite use by the chefs. Additionally, the use of a Vivreau water bottling system significantly reduces plastic and tin waste, saving thousands of bottles and cans annually. Water is recycled for irrigation and to support the local wildlife dam. Furthermore, it actively participates in global efforts against HIV/AIDS as a member of the AIDS council of Zambia.

Why we love it

15 kilometers upstream of Victoria Falls, Tongabezi presents Tangala House. With its own private boat, vehicle, pool and gym, the house is the epitome of independent luxury and style. Warm wooden furnishings and patterned tiles give the property a homely feel while the 250 meters of private river frontage ensure you’re never far from the beauty of the African wilderness. Entertain guests or create memories with family that will last a lifetime, either way this private paradise is one not to miss.
