The lodge stretches out towards the Lake where elephants and buffalos graze on the shoreline below with zebras, wildebeest, waterbucks and impalas.
 
Located 55km south west of Kariba town.
 
The main lodge areas include a lounge, dining room, a snooker room and cigar lounge as well as a terrace bar overlooking the lake. A delicious fusion of continental cuisine with a distinctly African twist is served in the alfresco restaurant, plus we can arrange a bush meal experience out on the estate.
 
A refreshing infinity swimming pool is a delightful place to cool down whilst enjoying views of the Lake. At the spa you can indulge in one of the wide variety of treatments using the finest range of natural whilst enjoying the enchanting view over the massive lake and nearby islands.
 
The lodge offers a variety of activities which include game viewing in open safari vehicles, on foot accompanied by a professional guide and by boat. The sunset cruise provides a wonderful photographic opportunity especially of the famous Kariba sunsets, and the hide enables you to observe the animals at close quarters and offers superb bird watching.
