Embrace a “digital detox” and slip into the rhythm of an authentic safari experience. Enjoy this unique riverscape up close on twice daily game drives in open 4×4 vehicles or drift through the crystal-clear waterways in a mokoro (from ages 16 years+ at the guides discretion) watching the birds and aquatic life. For something a little extraordinary, take to the skies on a helicopter safari to view the awe-inspiring waterways from above.

The lodge’s proximity to Matusadona makes for endless game-viewing opportunities. With the lake as your playground, spend your days cruising on the water or meandering the surrounds on a walking safari.

And with all the fantastic the Cub Club activities available, your children will relish their time in this unique corner of Africa.
A truly immersive Zimbabwe safari experience, wake to the sound of birdcalls echoing across the water and uninterrupted vistas of the lake. Gaze out from the lodge’s infinity pool as it melts into the horizon and marvel at the fiery golden sunset for which Lake Kariba is renowned.
