Activities
 

Activities include:

  • Fishing - Tigerfish
  • Daytime river cruises - including excursion trips to Ngonye Falls, exploring the Lumbe River and picnic trips to some of the islands in the Zambezi River
  • Sunset cruises
  • Birdwatching – special birdwatching tours with experienced ‘birder’
  • Game drives – in the Western Zambezi Game Management Area and in the Sioma Ngwezi National Park
  • Game walks
  • Combined game drives to and boat cruises on the Kwando River bordering Angola
  • Canoeing and kayaking on the Zambezi River

 

Other ideas include:

  • Short term ‘artist courses’ focusing on landscape painting together with recognized Zambian artist

  • Cultural tourism activities including trips to nearby villages, possible overnight stays in ‘upgraded huts’

  • 2-4 day tours into the Barotse Floodplains of Western Province

  • 2-4 day tours to Mongu (capital of Western Province) in connection with the Kuomboka ceremony around Easter

  • Massage (by trained locals)

 

The main focus of Sioma Camp is relaxation, enjoying the natural scenery and the wildlife in a stress-free manner. In this vein it is envisaged to supplement the more active game driving and walking by construction of a number of viewing platforms in the vicinity of the bushcamp close to some of the waterholes in the area. This will enable observing birds and other wildlife from a comfortable chair – or even a hammock - while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and some snacks.
