Kariba Safari Lodge is a beautiful lakeside resort situated on a mountainside with sweeping views over both the blue water and the islands in the Eastern basin of the lake.
The Lodges and Suites are distributed over 33 acres of forested hillside, sloping down to the lakeshore and beach area. The lodge may be accessed by air or road transfers. With private light air charters from Harare, Mana Pools or Hwange, one may fly in with convenience to Kariba Airport, gifted with a bird’s eye view of the area. The transfer from the airport is between 20 - 30 minutes. Alternatively, embark on a 5-hour drive from Harare, 370 km away.
Lake Kariba is an invitation for exploration. Set in the largely unknown eastern basin of the lake, Kariba Safari Lodge offers excursions and experiences distinctive to the area. From exploring its waterways on speed boats, accessing remote islands and areas unfathomed, to fishing, to simply sipping the sun down at the end of the day – the lake caters for a variety of travel desires.
Relax on the shoreline, upon the wild sandy beach, or perhaps just lie by the pool at the lodge, surrendering to relaxation.
To satiate your cultural and historical curiosity, one may take a day trip into town. Excursions to the dam wall, learning of the construction of this feat of engineering, a visit to the chapel as well as time with local residents in the township, a day out provides understanding and perspective of the area and its people.
Answer to the call of exploration and embark upon an experience of wild Zimbabwe. Kariba Safari Lodge is adventure cushioned in comfort, fulfilling your appetite for Africa from dawn until dusk.
