Bumi Hills Safari Lodge detail

With its elevated position above Lake Kariba and a rim-flow swimming pool that looks to be flowing into the eternal blue waters, guests would be forgiven for mistaking Bumi Hills Safari Lodge for a beach resort. Nestled in the remote hills, this luxurious lodge offers sensational views of both Africa's largest man-made lake and the Zambezi River Escarpment.

Having Kariba right on your doorstep means spending days exploring the lake on private boat cruises and trying your hand at tiger fishing. There's also the option of going on scenic walking safaris around the lake or venturing further into the surrounding forests to discover fossilized dinosaur footprints. Alternatively, interact with the local community and learn about their history and traditions. While Kariba’s shoreline has a rich diversity of bird species, its floodplain provides for even more game-viewing opportunities. The area is part of an unfenced private concession that is home to a range of wildlife.

Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is a tranquil stop-over between safaris in iconic destinations like Mana Pools, Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls, and even Zambia’s Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Park.

Facilities

Bumi Hills’s blockbuster is its gorgeous infinity pool, blending limitlessly into the horizon and surrounded by intimate wine and dining terraces. Gaze out over paradise and marvel at the brilliant pink-to-red-to-golden sunsets that Lake Kariba is famous for.

Indulge in a soothing treatment at the lodge’s spa while savoring the fantastic views over the lake. Your children will be well taken care of at the Ngwana Club, where trained supervisors will help them pass their days with fun craft and cooking activities, as well as excursions to local schools and villages. 'Ngwana' translates as 'explorer' in the Tswana language of Southern Africa and the little explorers will also be able to learn the basics of conservation and explore waterways and nature trails.

Delicious international and local cuisine can be enjoyed in the lodge's fine dining room or on the outside terraces overlooking Lake Kariba.
