Lake Kariba is one of the world's largest man-made lakes — a vast inland sea created by the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River in 1958–1959, stretching 280 km along the Zimbabwe–Zambia border. Its drowned forests, ancient baobab trees rising from the water, and spectacular sunsets create an unforgettable atmosphere.
Kariba is renowned for houseboat safaris — multi-day cruises on the lake offering game viewing, fishing, and unmatched sundowners as elephants and buffalo drink along the shoreline and fish eagles call from dead tree stumps.
