"Worlds largest man-made lake"

Why we like it

Great houseboat charters to explore the vast expanse of water.

Sunny and fine all year, relaxation is the order of the day in Kariba, a town located in Northern Zimbabwe along Africa’s largest man-made lake. Covering an expanse of 5,000 km2 (300km long and up to 50km wide) Kariba Lake is the perfect place to enjoy spectacular views and soak up stunning sunsets, spot crocodiles and hippo, or partake in some of the world’s best fishing with the area being a known hot spot for Tiger Fish.

As a year-round source of water, Kariba offers the chance to spot wildlife throughout each season so whether you choose to float your days away on a houseboat or base yourself on land Kariba there’s plenty of opportunity to witness the local wildlife at play all year.
