Lake Kariba
An enormous expanse of water dotted with the skeletons of petrified trees, Lake Kariba offers breathtaking sunsets and abundant wildlife.

Matusadona National Park, bordering the lake, is ideal for walking safaris where you can really touch and feel Africa while tracking animals on foot. Fishermen can test their skills on the famous fighting tiger fish, the delicious bream or the 100 pound vundu.
