From the Boat
Water based game viewing from one of our tender boats. Viewing game from the water is an unforgettable experience. Unwind in comfortable surroundings while watching animals coming to drink from the lake or grazing by the shore line. Buffalo are especially prominent and herds of up to 400 strong often congregate along the shoreline in the dry season, in the Bumi area. (Tender Boats - under construction)Tiger and bream fishing
Lake Kariba is territory to the renowned tiger fish that can reach up to 15kg in weight. It is such a popular sport that there is an international tiger-fishing tournament annually at Charara. Game Walks
The best way to experience Matusadona is on a walking safari. These can be arranged with experienced qualified guides by special arrangement in advance. Bird watching
Over 250 species have been recorded. The fish eagle is common along the lakeshore where it makes use of the dead trees as nesting sites. Most parts of the lakeshore have conspicuous populations of grey herons, goliath herons, great white herons and saddle billed storks. Plovers, waders and geese are generally abundant and there are notable populations of osprey, woolly-necked storks, open-billed storks, white-winged plovers and red-winged pratincoles. There are several large colonies of darters and reed cormorants within the tree lines, and at least one colony of white-breasted cormorants has appeared recently. Sun downer cocktails on C-deck
