Descrição
Our place is a family holiday resort in Siavonga, Zambia. Siavonga is a small town on the shores of Lake Kariba and is known as the "Riviera of Zambia". But it is such a beautiful spot and just needs some tlc. Unfortunately the owners cannot afford to spend a lot of money on renovations, so that's why we need workawayers. We still have international guests visiting the resort: Swiss, French, German, Australian, South Africans and Zimbabweans. A working holiday at our resort would be rewarding as you make a big difference with some painting, gardening and decorating. Whitewashing tables and chairs. Pruning trees. We have a beach bar which is the social hub of the resort. Activities to do in your free time include walking through an authentic African market, canoe safaris, fishing, and bird watching. There are several needy organisations in the vicinity which you may want to get involved in, including several rural schools and an orphanage. Zambian people are super friendly and welcoming. As a cultural experience, Siavonga and surrounds are rich in opportunities. We have backpacker or camping accommodation. We have 2 large Dogs

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Travellers will feel welcomed exploring a real African market. Siavonga is in a rural area, villages are just like they have been for centuries. The Zambian people are friendly and helpful. Most Zambians can speak a few words of English and are keen to interact with tourists. Siavonga is not at all a commercialised tourist destination where a visitor would only see curios. Rather it is a real Zambian town with authentic Zambian culture.
Ajuda
We need help with painting, decorating, making rustic light fittings, gardening, and plumbing.

Acomodação
Workawayers accommodation is a small chalet with bathroom en suite and rustic kitchen.
We will provide 1delicious meal per day for supper/dinner. Cold drinking water will be provided but any other drinks can be purchased at the beach bar or in Siavonga market.
Algo mais...
The big city lights of Lusaka are only 3 hours away by bus. In Siavonga you can explore a traditional African market, go fishing, bird watch, do a canoe safari, explore the islands and hiking trails around the resort. Lake Kariba is actually a dam. The Zambezi River was dammed in the 1960's to form a massive body of water shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Most people in Siavonga live from the fishing industry and crocodile farms. There are huge fish farms in the area as well as small, family run Kapenta (tiny dried fish, a staple food of Zambia) businesses. There are quite a few Lodges/hotels in Siavonga but we are the only one with a beach bar where people gather in the evening to socialise.

From beginning to end, Tom was friendly and accommodating and gave us a fascinating insight to his life in Siavonga and experience travelling throughout Africa. We were given creative freedom and made activity signs, decorative boards and an insect hotel!. Tom’s also a good cook, and mealtimes were a pleasure. Thank you Tom.

Aline worked very hard in the hot sun making our entrance beautiful with a spiral rockery and succulent garden. She works very well with others and inspires them to come up with their own ideas. The time with Aline went so fast! Thank you so much and happy travels, Aline!

Florent and Alice are great people! They are hard working, friendly, helpful and have a wonderful sense of humour. They really worked very hard building stone walls in our campsite and surrounds. We loved having them in our home and they were super with the kids. We wish them all the best for the future!
