Sian Simba River Lodge & Camp
Our thoughts
Sian Simba is in a very dry part of the Zambezi National Park, and the conservation fees were actually more than the camping fees. But the campsites were great. There are only a few, with a nice ablution block with hot and cold water, a covered area to eat if the weather turns, and a store room to keep your fridges away from the animals. The best part? Campers can use all the lodge facilities: a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the Zambezi, loungers facing the river, and a bar and restaurant for cocktails and a good meal. There's even mini golf!

Overview
Sian Simba sits right on the banks of the Zambezi, inside the Zambezi National Park, about 35 km upstream from Victoria Falls. Next to the lodge there are just a handful of campsites, with a neat ablution block with hot and cold water, a covered area to eat when the weather turns, and a store room to keep your fridges safe from the animals. The best part is that campers can use all the lodge facilities: an infinity pool and loungers overlooking the river, a bar and restaurant, and even a mini golf course.
