We would like to welcome our newest staff member, Dadu to the Tongabezi team.

Dadu wanted to be an electrician when he was little and his mother was the greatest influence during his childhood. He met his future wife while working at Sun International and they are planning a traditional wedding to seal their union. They have a son and a daughter. Dadu would love to meet President Obama. He describes himself as cool and down to earth (and jokingly says he would strangle his friends one by one if they dare disagree!) He is always trying to eat a little less sugar, loves that he is constantly meeting new people through his job and he doesn’t mind discussing both religion and politics.

PRIVATE SINDABEZI ISLAND: “As a holiday I don’t think Sindabezi followed by Luangwa Safari Lodge could be bettered for small group such as we were, wanting a really special time. 5 of our group of 7 had never been to Zambia before and they are all determined to return as soon as possible. I don’t know what to rave about first – the wonderful position (we never saw anyone else on a boat on this part of the Zambezi during our entire stay bar the occasional local fishermen) the unfailingly helpful and charming people who looked after us as though our happiness and wellbeing was their only concern, the amazing food, the elephant and hippos which came by to visit… the list goes on and on!!!! We didn’t really have quite enough time to do it all justice and, another time, I would opt for 3 nights so that we could actually lounge round the island a little more. Never mind, a perfect excuse to return.”

Dear Tongabezi, Many many thanks for a fantastic night with you guys. Everything exceeded my biggest expectations. You run a truly fantastic product. The staff are phenomenally friendly and professional. Your dedication to the local community and the Livingstone area is commendable and in my opinion unparalleled. Me and Ange thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were literally blown away. A huge thank you again. I will do a write up for the LTA, it was a truly fantastic experience.

The visit was wonderful! We have experienced the luxurious and elegance of some safari lodges (c.c Africa Phinda) but this to us was authentically, pure Africa at its best to be completely out in the open in nature rather than observing it from a house or lodge – is an exotic experience and then with Tongabezi staff\’s pampering is fascinating and fabulous experience of a lifetime! We will be back. Zikomo kwambiri! Chande and Raphael were excellent hosts. Dadu was the quiet essential valet, Brenda was friendly and Helpful as everyone was, staff as well as ambience is what makes Tongabezi amazing!
