From the luxury of Dzimbabwe lodge room balconies, visitors may observe and hear creatures like hippos, elephants, zebras, and buffalo. The land is surrounded by a variety of indigenous trees, including bush willow, cluster leaf, and mopani, making it a birding haven with several species of weaver living there. One of the many luxuries provided by Dzimbabwe Lodge is a houseboat (Free State) that is prepared to give full-day or overnight charters on Lake Kariba. Choosing to stay at the Dzimbabwe lodge in Kariba is a great decision that enables visitors to more fully appreciate Kariba through the breathtaking views made possible by the resort.

Budget stay with a 5 star 🌟 feel & service

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, furnishings pristine and modern. Each room has its own theme with corresponding furnishings.

Request one of the upper rooms for a breathtaking sunrise view. Expect a bird or two to flit by and join you as you watch the sunrise. Anytime between 4:45am-5am is a good time to pop out for the fiery red and orange hues.

Loved having the duality of a shower and a bathtub in the bathroom and I must say the shower is very spacious! No cramping in a small space with a partially working shower head here! Don't expect a hot shower/bath early morning though as the solar geyser wouldn't have heated up yet.

Meals were always topnotch. The Chef, whom we called by his totem Shumba, was always jovial and open to any special dietary requests.The manager Patrick was always ever helpful.

From unscheduled shuttle picks and drops to connecting us with other local service providers, Patrick was the perfect host! Will definitely come back for another stay.

Pool is well maintained, so do make sure to take time to enjoy a dip in between activities."
