LAKE KARIBA
Lake Kariba, situated on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, is one of the world's largest manmade lakes - so large that it is almost a seaside getaway for Zimbabweans. Over 200km and 40km wide, the shores of the lake are dotted with attractive beaches, encouraging you to relax. When the sun sets over the shores of the still lake, the waters reflect the golden colours of the sky and everyone enjoys the challenge of getting the best sunset snapshot.
Wildlife
The lake is home to a large collection of wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles and a huge variety of birds including fish eagles. Matasudona National Park, on the shores of the lake, is where you will find the majority of the wild animals you are searching for though, including the Big 5. There are herds of elephants, buffalo, a healthy population of antelope bring cats and other predatory animals, black and white rhino.
Activities
Around the shoreline are some excellent safari lodges, offering walks and drives, as well as boat and canoe trips to explore the lake and the National Park.
