MATUSADONA NATIONAL PARK & KARIBA DAM BY HOUSEBOAT

The 300 km long Kariba Dam is the 3rd largest man-made reservoir in the world and was created by damming the mighty Zambezi River at the Kariva Rapids. Today the dam is one of Zimbabwe's premier recreational areas. The dam provides excellent fishing opportunities and is fringed by wilderness areas.

The southern shore includes the remote Matusadona National Park. Access to Matusadona by road is difficult and tedious so the park is not heavily utilized. It is however an exceptional park for game viewing and it boasts the second highest lion concentration in Africa and some of the last free-roaming Black Rhino. Since the animals find quality grazing and adequate water on the shores of the lake, the game viewing is spectacular.

Our safaris visit Matusadona by houseboat, which is essentially a floating private hotel. This gives you the opportunity to relax on deck with a drink, soak up the sun and tranquility or to go fishing, bird watching or game viewing by tender boat.

We recommend a minimum stay of:4 days/3 nights
