Lake Kariba facts – Lake Kariba is a man-made expanse of water and the largest man-made lake in the world.
It is fed by the great Zambezi River which starts its 2700-kilometre journey in north-west Zambia and reaches the Indian Ocean through Mozambique.
The lake covers an area of nearly 6,000 square kilometres and its shoreline is broken by many rivers flowing into the huge expanse of water.
Kariba weather is variable with most favouring the dry winter season for its cooler temperatures and good game viewing. For the fishing enthusiast the hotter periods are more favoured.
This destination offers an opportunity for the African eco-tourism enthusiast to take advantage of the beauty, fishing and photography opportunities that this lake offers. Lake Kariba encompasses a quiet beauty and a laidback experience with a slow cruise past the riverbanks and wildlife.
The wildlife can be viewed leisurely from the comfort of the open air decks of the houseboat with a cool breeze and drinks to hand.
