Eagles Rest Resort is the cure for Lake Fever
The Riviera of Zambia
Siavonga is known as the Riviera of Zambia - a phrase coined by Steve Thompson of Eagles Rest Resort. In common with the French Riviera, or Côte d'Azur, Siavonga also has 133 sunny days per year - in fact Siavonga probably has nearly three times that amount of sunny days per year!
Lake Kariba memories ...

Live Love Lake
I'd rather stay and work than go to the lake ... said no one ever!
