The lake, which covers an area of 5,000 square kilometers is a wildlife paradise both in the water with crocodile and hippo as well as some of the world’s best fishing, especially the tigerfish, which fisherman have to really fight to catch, and on the shores where the Matusadona Wildlife Reserve has the highest number of lion per square kilometre of any reserve in the African continent.

The most iconic image of Lake Kariba is of the fish eagles, who sit in the fossilized trees in the lake hunting for fish and whose haunting cry is a sound you will never forget. Lake Kariba is a special place of incredible beauty that is a nature lover’s dream. The scenery at this African holiday spot also makes it a photographer’s paradise.
