Islands of Siankaba is
located on the Zambezi River, about 35km from Livingstone town. Our friends
Brett and Claire manage the lodge so I may be somewhat bias, however I think
that the photos really do speak for themselves when I say that Islands of
Siankaba is amazing!

| Welcome drink- Yum!! |
 |
| The view from our table at lunch. Pretty nice hey?! |
The rooms
are tented chalets, set on the banks of the river amongst the tree canopy and
have a gorgeous view looking out.

| Our chalet |
 |
| The chalets are right on the river in the tree canopy |
The bed was
super comfy and I loved the shower and bath, especially after coming from
Lusaka and our awesome bucket bath!
 |
| Huge bed... |
 |
| ...and very comfy too :-) |
 |
| Nice bathroom with awesome bath |
 |
| Personalised welcome |
The food is
a highlight of the lodge. We arrived to a scrumptious platter of bream, quiche,
garden salad and beetroot.
 |
| Our lunch on arrival: Bream, quiche, salad and beetroot |
For dinner
we had four courses, including a crocodile entrée which unfortunately I forgot
to get a photo of, followed be a fresh sorbet (also missing a photo). We then
moved to the main, a beef roast, although the highlight for me was the carrots
which were so sweet.
 |
| The lodge at night; unfortunately my photo doesn't really capture how pretty it looks |
 |
| Main course: Roast beef |
However it
was dessert that won the day for me! Isn’t the presentation cool?! That’s mocha
ice-cream in the cup, btw!
 |
| Dessert: Loving the presentation! |
Unfortunately we had only one night there as we needed to get back to Lusaka the following day, but still enough time to relax, read, have a few quiet drinks and enjoy the magnificent rooms and beautiful surroundings.
 |
| Relaxation on the river |
 |
| Now that's what I'm talking about! |
 |
Mike shaving. I guess being at Siankaba was a special
occasion :-p |
To finish this post up I’ll show a few more
pictures of the lodge and its surrounds. Amazing job Brett and Claire, not a
beat missed! Keep up the good work!
 |
| And this is what we woke up to in the morning |
 |
| The walk back to the main lodge in the morning |
 |
| Looking out at the Zambezi River |
 |
| A nice place to relax |
 |
| Doesn't it look peaceful? |
 |
| Breakfast table for two |
 |
| I loved that we each got our own plunger of coffee, a very nice touch! |
 |
| Breakfast starter: Muesli and yoghurt |
 |
| Plenty of places to sit and read a book |
 |
Islands of Siankaba pool: Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it but it does
look nice |
