This beautiful, tented camp exudes a cool, light, and airy atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of the surrounding environment. Each suite embraces pastel color tones that stretch across a delicate spectrum of olive greens, lily pinks, turquoise blues, and chic yellow hues.
A world-class island paradise, Fothergill Island’s enviable location on the shores of Lake Kariba makes it a magical location to experience some of the best safari moments that Africa has to offer. The bespoke safari adventures on offer include nature walks, fly fishing, archery, and child-friendly activities that ensure every visitor, no matter their age, has the very best experience.

Facilities
There is plenty to do and see when staying at Fothergill Island. Matusadona National Park offers a wide range of activities for both adults and children of all ages to take part in. Enjoy game drives in modified open 4X4 vehicles through the park, soaking up the wealth of wildlife knowledge that the guides share, as well as getting the chance to see lions, antelopes, zebra, and buffalo roaming the plains.
In addition to game drives, you’ll also get to revel in guided bush walks (ages 16 years and up) and trail walks (ages 5 years and up) through Matusadona, as well as boating safaris and sunset cruises on Lake Kariba. Other activities on offer include fishing, bird watching, stargazing, swimming, and archery.
Dining
Although they’re in the middle of the African bush, the world-class team ensures all meals are freshly prepared and served in several scenic locations around the camp, on the banks of Lake Kariba and Matusadona National Park. There’s no better way to enjoy a delicious meal than under a star-sprinkled African sky or while gazing out over the tranquil water of the lake. For a more romantic setting, private dinners can be arranged on the shore of Lake Kariba, or enjoy a sundowner cruise, drinking cocktails and eating canapes as the last rays fade into the horizon.
