What to Expect
Lomagundi Lakeside sits on Lake Kariba, and the wildlife wandering through the grounds is what most reviewers mention first: zebra, hippo, elephant and bushbuck turn up between the chalets and the pool. Ruth (August 2018) described “Abundant birdlife with hippos zebras bushbuck sometimes right in the complex”.
The onsite Dome Restaurant serves a basic but reliable menu. Neil (October 2023) recommended the “great fish and chips fresh from the lake”, and Linda (July 2023) had a full breakfast, calling it wonderful, with fast service on a quiet Sunday. Trevor (May 2026) found the meals well executed alongside comfortable rooms and a clean pool.
Camping and ablutions are more mixed. Sonya (May 2026) liked the level pitches, water and power hookups but found the ablutions “a bit dated”, with hot water in only one shower block. Several reviewers, including Renier (June 2022) and Kay (January 2022), call the place good value and reasonably priced.

Please stop in. The Dome Restaurant is excellent. Good value food, great fish and chips fresh from the lake, service with a smile. If you are lucky enough you may even see a passing Zebra or elephant herd.
★★★★☆
This was a nice camp, it's a really useful stop when using the Kariba border. We had a nice camp (we were the only campers), drinking water and electric hook up as well as Econet signal.
★★★★☆
Met friends here had a full breakfast, which was wonderful, thank you. Beautiful relaxing peaceful spot on a Sunday morning. That spontaneous lets run to kariba for a breakfast from Harare and nip back same day. Lots of driving, but it was a wonderful day.
★★★★☆
Lovely spot beautifully situated on Lake Kariba. Friendly staff and good food and accommodation offered. Abundant birdlife with hippos zebras bushbuck sometimes right in the complex. Wonderful!
★★★★☆
We stayed in a friends house on the estate. It is well kept and with a decent but not fancy restaurant. Offers camping and relaxed and safe environment. Good value
