Tongabezi or Sindabezi Island Wedding Package – Celebrate your wedding, renew your vows or commemorate an anniversary on the very edge of Victoria Falls.
For your wedding, your day will begin with a registry ceremony at Livingstone City offices, followed by a unique blessing from a local pastor.
Blessings can take place on Livingstone Island directly overlooking Victoria Falls, accompanied by the Tongabezi African Choir. Alternatively, you may prefer to celebrate on Sindabezi Island, our private retreat, which boasts magnificent views overlooking the Zambezi River and the nearby flood plain of the National Park. You can also choose to receive a blessing on one of the deserted islands near Tongabezi.
We cater for small or large groups and can arrange suitable accommodation for all of your guests in the local area. We will take care of all the arrangements including the legalities required by the registry office for a registered marriage (yes a Zambian wedding is legal and accepted throughout the world), or arranging a priest for the blessing, the order of service (if required), plus flowers, menus, cakes, guest gifts, the choir and other local entertainment such as a DJ or local dancers.

Wedding Package Accommodation at Tongabezi:
Honeymoon House
Built with the perfect view, indulgence and privacy in mind the Honeymoon House is the original blueprint for luxury Tongabezi accommodation. The private balcony overlooks the river, providing a perfect setting for a secluded candlelit dinner beneath the stars. Alternatively, you can choose to dine with the other guests on one of the river decks.
Bird House
The Bird House features an open-air sunken bath and a private terrace for dining under the stars. Guests can go canoeing on the river, join game drives, bush walks and enjoy sunset boat trips.
Dog House
Located at the water’s edge and looking out across the Zambezi, the Dog House is an open-fronted house uniquely designed and furnished with local materials. It is dominated by a comfortable king-size bed that comes with down pillows and duvet, and a large, airy mosquito net. Like all the houses at Tongabezi, it has a large open-air sunken bath with stunning views over the river. There is a spacious deck for private dining.
Tree House
At the end of the swimming pool a hidden path winds along the cliff face to the secluded Tree House. Set against the basalt rock bed, amongst the branches of the riverine trees this house spreads out over various levels. The king size bed has a large canopied mosquito net and awe inspiring Zambezi views. An extended mezzanine lounging deck can also be used for private dining. The upstairs bathroom has a shower and a loo with a view. Suspended over the river the lowest deck is taken up by an extensive bathroom with a large sunken bath. All the inclusive Tongabezi activities are available ... but this house is so much part of the surroundings that you do not need to leave to experience the beauty and majesty of Zambia.
Rates for the Honeymoon House, Bird House, Dog House and Tree House start at $590 per person per night
Nut House
A haven from the elements, it is entirely enclosed with light streaming in through every wall. Charming glass tiles reflect the sunrise in African patterns onto the wood and stone floors. Folding doors open into the private garden and infinity plunge pool, all offering spectacular views over the Zambezi from the elevated position on the river bank.
Rates for the Nut House start at $695 per person per night
