Lake Kariba & Matusadona in Zimbabwe

Lake Kariba & Matusadona Trip

See the Big Five in the Zambezi valley! Matusadona National Park offers you fantastic game viewing opportunities on the islands and southern shores of Lake Kariba – one of the greatest man made lakes in the world. Large herds of elephants, black and white rhinos, wily crocodiles, cautious antelopes, and grazing buffaloes roam freely. Predatory cats are aplenty and the park houses the second-largest population of lions in Africa. The area is a haven for bird-watchers and many rare species are commonly found near the lake. You can indulge in game drives, bush walks, and water-based activities on the lake, and enjoy spectacular sunsets at Matusadona.
