Learn more about Kariba

Cruise along the massive Lake Kariba shoreline to spot elephants drinking while hippos and crocodiles lurk beneath the surface. Book a houseboat safari to fish for tiger fish and watch spectacular sunsets over the Matusadona mountains from the water.

Everyone needs to go to Southern Africa at least once in their lives to experience the majestic elephant while still in existence. If anyone needs assistance and advise on where or when to go please don't hesitate to contact me. These are one of my favorite animals and to see them up close and personal is honestly an experience of a life time.
