About Kariba

Lake Kariba is the “middle section” of the three well-known parts of the Zambezi river (between the upper Zambezi above Lake Kariba including Victoria Falls and the Lower Zambezi from below the Kariba dam wall downwards). The Lake runs for 220 kilometers along the northern border with Zambia.

The Zambezi River itself has been known outside of Africa for thousands of years. Legends suggest that the kingdoms of Hiram, Solomon, and Sheba were enriched by the gold and ivory of Ophir - supposedly part of the present-day country - and the mighty Zambezi was one of the gateways to the ancient treasure trove. Evidence of early man’s occupation has been found along most of the river but much of its history has been shrouded in mystery.

Increasing numbers of visitors are returning to Zimbabwe thanks to its newfound stability and impressive range of things to see and do. Its many attractions include abundant wildlife, untouched wilderness, and significant cultural sights.
