Sindabezi Island

Sindabezi Island is almost hidden; an idyllic bush camp camouflaged on a private isle in the Zambezi River. Sleeping only ten guests, five romantic chalets are draped in swaths of dreamy fabrics and raised over the water on wooden platforms. This unforgettable camp is built from sustainable forests and utilises only renewable resources, and neither expense nor imagination was spared in the décor and furnishings.
