Set along the southern shores of one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, this region is known for its dramatic landscapes, striking sunsets, and abundant wildlife.
The view of the lake with the Matusadona escarpment rising in the background is nothing short of spectacular. The area is home to elephants, buffalo, lions, a variety of antelope species, some of the largest crocodiles in Africa, and spectacular birdlife – including frequent sightings of the iconic African fish eagle. Safari activities go beyond game drives: you can explore by boat, track game on foot, enjoy excellent fishing, or simply relax on the water. With houseboat safaris and lakeside lodges to choose from, it’s an ideal destination for travellers looking to combine traditional safari elements with the calm and beauty of a lakeside escape.
