Why we love it
Bumi Hills is home to leopard, lion, herds of elephant and buffalo as well as extensive game which you can view either by a drive or cruising on Lake Kariba.
Situated in the remote hills overlooking the vast Lake Kariba, bird enthusiasts will be spoilt by the birdlife - especially the wading birds and eagles.
Set out on the vast freshwater Kariba lake and see if your bait will be able to lure the powerful and razor-toothed tigerfish amongst other species.
Visit the Tonga People in the remote Chalala village, a short ride away from the Bumi Hills, to learn about their subsistence lifestyle and traditions.
After a morning game drive, boat out to Starvation Island in Lake Kariba for a freshly prepared picnic feast on the sandy shores.
Watch the sun set on Lake Kariba from your elevated dining deck where you can enjoy some delicious food waiting for the stars to come out.
Jen & George
We were bundled into a vehicle and dashed off to see a leopard within the first 30 minutes of arriving; it was an AWESOME start. Our guide completely made the entire experience. He was an exceptional birder and his best party trick was to point out the bird and then tell us the exact page we could find it in our book. We combined Zimbabwe with Mozambique, and our beach hotel felt like a complete hidden gem. The sand is like ‘moon dust’ and the hospitality and food were fantastic.
