Country Lodge Sioma sits directly below the Sioma bridge on the Livingstone to Sesheke and Mongu highway, overlooking the Zambezi where the river meanders through Western Province. The property has sandy beach frontage onto the river. It is a sister property to Country Lodge Mongu, under the same Zambian operator.
Best for
Self-drive travellers on the Livingstone to Mongu route, Ngonye Falls day visitors and birders.
Location
Below Sioma Bridge at Maziba, on the main west-bank highway. Note that the lodge is on the Zambezi near Sioma, not inside Sioma Ngwezi National Park. The position makes it a natural overnight stop on the long run between Livingstone and Mongu.
Rooms and style at Country Lodge Sioma
The operator describes the rooms as fully equipped, with air conditioning and hot water. No room count or room grades are published for this branch, and we will not invent them.
Facilities at Country Lodge Sioma
Guided trips to Ngonye Falls, the wide horseshoe-shaped cataract on the Zambezi a short distance away, are offered from the lodge. Boat cruises on the Zambezi and picnic outings are arranged, as are trips into Sioma town. Birdwatching along this stretch of river is one of the listed activities. Check-in is 12:00 and check-out 10:00.
Trade-offs and what to know
The operator publishes no room count, room categories or facilities list for this branch, so a lot has to be confirmed at booking. Independent review coverage is very thin, with a single entry filed under Sesheke rather than Sioma.
Getting there and getting around
The lodge is on the Livingstone to Sesheke to Mongu highway at the Sioma bridge, which makes it straightforward for self-drivers. Public transport on this route is limited, so a vehicle is close to essential.
Explore the area
Ngonye Falls, also called Sioma Falls, is the main draw. The area is the gateway to Sioma Ngwezi National Park and the Ngonye Falls Community Partnership Park. Birdlife along the river is strong. For the wider area see our Western Zambia and Liuwa Plain pages.
Before you book
Confirm room grade, meals and what is included, since none of that is published. Arrange the Ngonye Falls trip in advance, and check road conditions on the west-bank highway before you set out.
