Very nice hotel, direct at the Lake Kariba. The rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The environment is fantastic and in the near you find the Kariba dam. We just stayed there for one night and almost 2 days (it’s a shame we didn’t have more time), but we enjoyed our stay so much. Finger food and breakfast are better... More

This was a pleasant place but do not expect five star in a remote location. Views are spectacular. Take your own soap and shampoo. Room was clean. Food fine. A solid three stars. I recommend as a quiet family get away. Good conference rooms for meetings and with not much close people can concentrate on work. Wifi was non existent... More

Lake Kariba Inns was a wonderful surprise. To find somewhere as comfortable, well run and relaxed in the middle of nowhere (even has wifi reception!) was wonderful. Jason, Crystal and their well trained staff obviously take care of their guests and have pride in what they are doing. the rooms are well appointed with vital equipment such as air-conditioning. There... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel itself is nice enough, a good pool, decent rooms (although we had to move rooms twice as aircon, Tv's etc were faulty) a bar with a pool table and table tennis and an average restaurant. But the service is awful and the staff are the rudest I've encountered anywhere and completely incompetent... More

We arrived as a 'walk in'and were shown a selection of rooms. All were large, clean and well decorated with lake views. We opted for a villa which was enormous, comprising of two large rooms and a bathroom . Decor was tasteful if a little dark ( they like dimmer switches!) - there was a fridge , writing table and...

We stayed in Villa 6 ( it is bigger then a room) which will be refurnished (bathroom) but even in this state it good enough for me. Spacious bedroom + a minor bedroom for one bed en a small shower/toilet. It is quite a large complex, so you have to walk about 60 metres to the restaurant at the pool... More

I was concerned about a hotel near such a large lake (mosquito magnet?) and I wasn't sure what the food would be like. What I found was a generally clean hotel, with very friendly staff and a chef(s) who cooked food when you ordered it - instead of having it microwaved. The hotel grounds are a plus point - green...

I had booked 3 nights for the Easter weekend for my family of 5. The booking agent Pamela was very rude and unfriendly. After we headed there I found they had hiked up the room rates without even informing me! I had made a budget and thank god I carried Extra money! I paid $1600 instead of my previous arrangement...

I had previously stayed at the Lake Safari Hotel - but moved out as a result of the poor quality. In comparison - Lake Kariba Inn was amazing. I'm not sure about the ordinary rooms as I was in a suite - but the suites are fantastic. I highly recommend this lodge.

The Lake Kariba Inns is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay in. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean- a good work by the cleaning maids. My recent stay here with my wife was fantastic. We had a great time out there. The services were very good. The staffs have an admirable disposition. The food served is excellent. One can... More
