What people are saying

Kariba Safari Lodge sits at Mica Point overlooking the lake, and most reviews start with the view before anything else. G (June 2024) called the place “exquisite, overlooking the lake”, an escape from the drive in that “makes you forget the potholes”. Gulnara (March 2025) listed “clean rooms, helpful and kind staff, best views” and “very tasty food” among the reasons to recommend it.

The sunset boat trip on the lake is the activity reviewers bring up most. Rachmch (2023) described “a net on the back of the boat which allows you to be in the water”, and Slibaziso (October 2021) recalled a full day of buffet meals and a captain with “27 years of experience”. Service is not always steady, though: Muchafara (January 2026) praised the facilities and views but found staff “inexperienced and overwhelmed”, calling it “Difficult to recommend based on service.”

Food draws steady praise, though the buffet runs light on choice. Rachel (January 2023) enjoyed the overall stay but noted “the buffet had limited food options” and no room service. Rooms are kept simple, without televisions, which Allen (January 2023) waved off since “who needs a TV on holiday in the jungle?”

“The place is exquisite, overlooking the lake. It's an awesome place to retreat, a breath of fresh air. The staff is helpful and very polite. The road to Kariba is paved with potholes, but this place makes you forget the potholes”

G · June 2024

“This was a great stopover, we only spent one night before our houseboat trip but this was a perfect way to break up the journey and allow us to get on the houseboat nice and early the next morning.”

5.0 / 5

“We've had a great experience with Kariba Safari Lodge from the time we found them online and made enquiries, processed payment and as we travelled. Response is swift and we found the manager waiting for us at the reception since they'd enquired about our expected arrival time.”
