Matusadona Water Wilderness



 

Matusadona National Park is a wonderful park situated along the southern shores of Lake Kariba. Guests visiting this lodge have the best of the Lake Kariba water~based activities, coupled with great wildlife experiences on dry land within the park. The area is one of the few where Black Rhino can regularly be seen in Zimbabwe's parks.

 


 

 
Camp Description
Water Wilderness is divided into two identical lodges: one is an eight bedder and the other is a ten bedder. Both camps still run independently so guests have that small camp atmosphere. The lodges are situated just off the shoreline of Matusadona National Park and consist of floating chalets, moored in two separate and secluded bays. Accommodation is in large twin~bedded, floating chalets, each with en suite bathroom with toilet and shower. Each of the floating rooms has its own cool veranda. The "mother ship" houses a lounge, dining room and upstairs viewing deck. Guests may commute between this unit and their rooms either by canoe or the camp's motorised pontoon.
  
Game Viewing
Wildlife viewing is excellent in this area, where the fluctuating lake levels have created a small grassland with herds of antelope, Elephant, Buffalo and a host of predators. Guests get the complete wildlife experience here.
  
Activities
The main activities at Water Wilderness are boating, canoeing, game drives and walks with an armed and fully licensed professional guide.Canoeing and boating along the shoreline is popular and guests often get close to game coming to the water's edge. Fishermen have good opportunities to catch Tiger Fish, Africa's best sporting fish. Tracking Black Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo and Lion on foot is one of Africa's most exhilarating experiences.
