Kariba Bush Club was established in 2003 as a family owned backpacker's lodge and guesthouse able to accommodate 32 guests. As the word of our secret location spread, we have grown to include another guesthouse, four en-suite lake view chalets and two houseboats, now being able to accommodate a maximum of 76 guests excluding the campsite. Our mainland campsite is situated under a large grassy canopy and our new island campsite provides an opportunity for a real bush experience!

Travelers to Lake Kariba who are in search of spectacular wildlife and fishing opportunities may look no further than Kariba Bush Club’s Maaze Island bush camp. Situated on a private and secluded island, stocked with prime game, including impala, eland, bushbuck and the occasional elephant, we offer game walks and fishing excursions. The camp itself which rustically blends into its surroundings is comprised of 6 tents each with their own shower and toilet. A Boma with a bar, lounge and dining area provides a space for relaxation whilst soaking up the jaw dropping views out into the bay. There is a kitchen set up for self-catering, but full board can be organized on request for those who wish to take it a little bit easier. For the romantic at heart, full moon cruises combined with dinner on one of the sandy beaches will be available during the dry season (April-October), weather dependent.

At the main lodge, guests can enjoy a fully stocked bar, all our safari activities, a swimming pool with stunning views, self-catering kitchen and braai facilities as well as delicious homemade meals prepared by our cooks.
