This is truly a unique and extraordinary place to take a safari, either by foot or on one of the many Lake Kariba Houseboats on offer.

Taking a trip on a Lake Kariba houseboat is way more than just floating down this vast expanse of fresh water on a vessel, there are activities and sights to keep enthusiasts enthralled. Fishing is a popular activity with Tiger fish being one of the most challenging and sought-after fresh water fish to catch. Whilst navigating along the shoreline, one must keep an eye open for the many species of birds, animals that this thriving ecosystem now supports. One can drop anchor at different spots along the shore and go for walks to discover what lies along the banks of the lake. Stopping at Matusadona Park for game viewing comes highly recommended as this is one of Zimbabwe’s most remote parks, well known for its conservation efforts with the Black Rhino.
