Day 1: We Drive to Kariba; and Boat Transfer to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge, Game - Viewing

We drive to the west to Lake Kariba ( 360km) from Harare. We take the trip by road via a scenic drive crossing a range of mountains known as the Great Hydroelectricity. It is the continent’s third-largest dam after Aswan in Egypt and Cahora Bassa in Mozambique. It is now a very popular resort lake with island-studded water, fringed by mountains.

This enchanting lake is a year-round source of water for abundant animal and bird life, a playground for water-sport enthusiasts, and home to the most challenging fresh-water fishing in Africa. On arrival, you will be transferred to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge by boat.

All rooms have a shower, radio, telephone, overhead fan, and a balcony or veranda. The public areas include a lounge, a cocktail bar overlooking the Lake, and a dining room under a traditional African thatch from where there are vistas of the Lake in its various moods. Snacks are available on the poolside terrace. Enjoy the Afternoon game activity.
