Islands of Siankaba is set on two small islands in the mighty Zambezi River some 40kms upstream from the famous Victoria Falls.
Islands of Siankaba is lovely property offering a quiet base from which to explore the Livingstone and Victoria Falls area. The five minute boat journey to the Islands opens up a world of peace and tranquillity, punctuated with only bird song and running water.
