Lake Kariba Zambia Accommodation

 

Lake Kariba is an artificial inland sea that covers 282km2 of the Zambezi Valley. It is the continent\'s third largest dam after Aswan in Egypt and Cahora Bassa on the same river in neighbouring Mozambique. The dam was built to to produce hydroelectricity for use by both Zimbabwe and bordering Zambia and it\'s something of a feat of both engineering and human endeavour that it was built at all. The area is a commercial fishing centre with the crane-like capenta rigs illuminating the night-time waters of the lake. At the same time, the dam attracts vast quantities of game, both big and small. Huge Nile crocodiles inhabit the lake as do many hippos and it is not uncommon to stumble into a herd of elephants on the lakeshore or while walking through the bush. Lake Kariba is now a very popular resort lake with an airport, harbour, lakeside hotels and lodges, huge houseboats, marinas, water-sports and fishing.

Chete Island

A chain of islands lies hidden away in the  western reaches of lake Kariba in Zambia - these are the Westlake islands. When the Zambezi filled Kariba,  it became the largest man made lake in the world, they have remained remote and untouched since 1959. They offer a unique setting for the luxury, tented Chete Island Safari Lodge.  This is an untouched wilderness sanctuary which invites quiet exploration and discovery.
