Lake Kariba Inns

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay, room was clean and tidy, bed was very comfortable. Some of the furnishings could do with an upgrade. Staff were were extremely helpful and freindly. Food was lovely. Unfortunately the phone in our room did not work. The staff were very thorough with cleaning and the pools etc., as we did have some big storms while we stayed, but that did not interrupt our enjoyment of staying. Just be aware the property is on a hill, so lots of slopes and steps."

"WOW, just WOW. This is a little paradise in Kariba. How did we get so lucky that we got to spend a few nights here during our trip through Southern Africa?! Our accommodation was gorgeous, the views stunning, the host welcoming, the staff friendly, and the pool area was just perfect for us to relax at after 3.5 weeks of non-stop travel. The food is outstanding! They cook your breakfast after you chose what you would like. Our dinners were some of the best we've ever had. We had our own huts. They are beautifully decorated. They are open and airy, which is really nice at nights. The night sky was stunning - we could see stars, the Milky way and more. We had organized a Zambezi cano trip afterwards and our host was very familiar with the company we were using, gave us some practical tips which all helped start the trip off with the right expectations (also highly recommend the cano trip!)."
