Safari Guide to the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls & Kariba - WildZambezi.com

LOCATION
Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park's proximity to the Victoria Falls makes it a natural draw for wildlife tourism, and a great stopover for those visitors traversing the Zambezi Valley and its environs.

LOCATION
Victoria Falls
The Zambezi River's most famous tourism attraction and a World Heritage Site. Famous for adrenalin activities, but there are also wonderful wild experiences to be enjoyed.

LOCATION
Lake Kariba
Zimbabwe's vast fresh-water inland sea - 280 kms long and 40 kms at its widest - formed when the Zambezi River was dammed at Kariba Gorge in the 1950s. A wildlife and water wilderness paradise!

LOCATION
Matusadona
National Park on the southern shores of Lake Kariba, offering wildlife and water-based activities. Fabulous birdlife and great tigerfishing. This is a favourite destination for houseboat holidays.

LOCATION
Kariba Town
The town of Kariba, built at the site of the hydro-electric dam across the Zambezi River, is a focus for tourism, and provides a starting point for access to the vast inland sea of Lake Kariba.
