Lake Kariba
Location: Zimbabwe
Best explored by boat, the lakeshore is home to Elephants, Buffalo, Zebra and Lion, whilst the tranquil waters of the lake and its bays (along with their strange ’drowned’ dead trees) are home to Hippo and Crocodile whilst also offering some spectacular sports fishing – in particular Tiger Fishing.
When to go:
In terms of game-viewing, the dry season is the best - from July through to October, animals congregate around the Lake’s shore. Outside of the dry season, dispersal of game and dense woodland make game viewing difficult. Fishing is considered best at similar times with June to October being considered the best period, especially for Tiger Fishing.
