Lake Kariba - Zimbabwe
Lake Kariba is like an inland sea in a landlocked country. Stunning sunsets are a distinctive feature of Kariba, as are the bleached skeletal trunks and bare branches of dead trees that were drowned the dam all those years ago. They make excellent perches for fish eagles, cormorants and other water birds.
Matusadona National Park lies along the southern shores of Lake Kariba and is bounded in the west by the Umi River and in the east by the dramatic Sanyati Gorge. It's a superb game viewing park with the opportunity to take game drives, walking safaris, boat and canoe excursions, making it an excellent all-round safari location.
