Lake Kariba is a beautiful, man-made expanse of water supporting an abundance of flora and fauna, creating the most magnificent backdrop for a phenomenal Kariba safari and spectacular sunsets over the crimson lake. The creation of Lake Kariba, in 1958, was a remarkable feat of engineering and environmental conservation.

Lake Kariba is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, with abundant game-sightings and excellent angling for bream and tiger fish.  The Lake provides pleasure to locals and visitors alike with fishing, canoeing, sailing or drifting along on a houseboat.

Wildlife sightings on the banks of Kariba are thrilling.  Elephant, buffalo, crocodile and a host of smaller game abound, many of them the refugees of the translocation operation of thousands of animals in preparation for the flooding of the valley to create the dam.
