Bumi Hills; safari guide to the Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe

Our View

Visitors to Lake Kariba are usually attracted by the exceptional fishing or the renowned game viewing of the Matusadona National Park on the shore. The unique, elevated situation of Bumi Hills provides guests with stunning views of this vast lake and all the comforts expected of a safari lodge.

However, if you're after a more rustic and traditional safari experience Changa would be more suitable. Bumi Hills is one of Lake Kariba's most renowned Safari Lodges and is situated on top of a hill approximately 55km south west of Kariba town. With the Zambezi escarpment as its backdrop, Bumi Hills overlooks the foreshore below and the vastness of Lake Kariba.
