What to Expect
Captain's Cove overlooks the water on Buffalo Drive in Kariba, and value is the theme reviewers keep coming back to. K (March 2022) laid out the range, from “beef stew with sadaza and relish to U$10 for 350g of tender Zimbabwean T-bone, Rump or Sirloin, cooked to perfection.” Susmitha (August 2024) had grilled fish with chips and salad and found the “Chicken schitzel was tasty as well.”
Portia (August 2022) praised a “hostess was very pleasant and warm” alongside food Portia called “great value for one's buck,” with “a lovely view of the cove” included.

What Diners Say
★★★★★
Very good value for really good food. Main courses start at U$4 for beef stew with sadaza and relish to U$10 for 350g of tender Zimbabwean T-bone, Rump or Sirloin, cooked to perfection. Salad and chips or boiled potatoes accompany. Drinks are decently priced. Definitely worth it.
