Lake Kariba is known as Africa’s French Riviera. Which doesn’t really make sense, because along the lakeshore you’ll find hippos, rhinos, elephants and lions. 

Matusadona National Park is a haven for big game that lives around this large Zimbabwean lake. You can canoe near the hippos, walk in elephant country, and hold your breath at the sight of rhinos. 

Stay at a laid-back waterside retreat and enjoy a delightful set of safari activities in Matusadona, the home of giants. It’s amazing how close you can get to the animals here, but the guides are experts and will keep you safe.
