Most safari properties sell proximity to wildlife. Tsowa Safari Island sells something harder to find: a private island in the middle of the Zambezi River that puts you within reach of three countries, two national parks, and one of the world’s great natural wonders, without surrendering the kind of stillness that makes a place worth leaving.
