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

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
Mana Pools
World Heritage Site, Core Area of the Middle-Zambezi Biosphere Reserve, Important Bird Area, and one of the wildest of Zimbabwe's National Parks, situated in the extreme north of the country.

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
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
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.
