SELF DRIVE

From Batoka (on the Livingstone-Lusaka road, 280 km from Lusaka and 220 km from Livingstone) you travel down the escarpment towards Maamba. After 50km you will reach a town called Sinazeze, which you will recognise by the Council barrier as you enter. 1 km beyond the town is the main turnoff to Sinazongwe, with a lot of signposts indicating to turn left. DO NOT turn left here, as you need to be going to the village of Siansowa (direction Maamba). We do have a (green and brown) sign here, the only sign indicating to go straight. You need to stay on the tar road for another 30km. Our turnoff is indicated by another sign just like the previous one, and the road immediately rises over a small hill. From here you will travel on a good gravel road for 30kms until you reach the game fence and crocodile farm security gate. They will allow you in and direct you to Kariba Bush Club. We have several signs on the dirt road too, but as long as you stay on the maintained and well-used road you are going the right way. Total distance from Lusaka is 390 km, from Livingstone is 330 km. As for road conditions, the tar road from Batoka to our turnoff (just before the mining town of Maamba) is in good condition in terms of potholes. It is important to take care on this road as there are several places where the road has been washed out from the side and are not easily visible. The road through the escarpment winds a lot with blind bends and there is a good deal of heavy trucks carrying coal from Maamba which you need to look out for. The dirt road to Siansowa is well maintained throughout the year, although you might need a high clearance vehicle in the wet season.
