Drive up to Kariba Heights for a magnificent panorama of the lake at the

in the coffer shape of the dam wall, the church is a memorial to the men
who lost their lives during the construction of the massive dam wall.
Proceed to the observation point for a bird’s eye-view of the mighty
dam wall, then walk on the wall itself, 128 metres high, 579 metres long
and holding back the world's largest lake at the time it was built.
Clients are required to leave some form of identification (ID card, passport
or driver's licence) at the border before going on to the wall.

Sunset Cruise - 2 hours

Lake Kariba, with its fossilised mopani forest rising out of the water,
is famed for its splendid sunsets. Relax and enjoy the breath-taking

for elephant, hippo and crocodile. Tasty snacks are served and a cash
bar offering local beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks is in operation
during the cruise.
Full Day Lake Cruise - 6 hours

operates throughout the cruise.
Lunch Cruise - 2 hours
Daily at 12h30 from the jetty
Nothing beats a lunch cruise on the lake, with a cooling breeze to relieve

and lunch.
