Lake Kariba

At two hundred and twenty kilometres long and up to forty kilometres wide, Lake Kariba was the largest man-made dam in the world when completed in 1960. The lake was formed when the Zambezi River was dammed near Siavonga far downstream of the Victoria Falls.

The many islands dotted about the vast expanse of water have resident wildlife including kudu, hippo, impala and elephant. Elephant and even lion have been known to swim from the “mainland” to the islands.

The sunsets, sunrises and star gazing from the lake are spectacular. Fishing and game viewing can all be enjoyed in wonderful seclusion from the stylish lodges, comfortable guest houses or houseboats available on the lake.
