"WOW, just WOW. This is a little paradise in Kariba. How did we get so lucky that we got to spend a few nights here during our trip through Southern Africa?! Our accommodation was gorgeous, the views stunning, the host welcoming, the staff friendly, and the pool area was just perfect for us to relax at after 3.5 weeks of non-stop travel. The food is outstanding! They cook your breakfast after you chose what you would like. Our dinners were some of the best we've ever had. We had our own huts....

The food is outstanding! They cook your breakfast after you chose what you would like. Our dinners were some of the best we've ever had. We had our own huts. They are beautifully decorated. They are open and airy, which is really nice at nights. The night sky was stunning - we could see stars, the Milky way and more. We had organized a Zambezi cano trip afterwards and our host was very familiar with the company we were using, gave us some practical tips which all helped start the trip off with the right expectations (also highly recommend the cano trip!)."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Matusadona National Park?
The best area to stay in Matusadona National Park is along the shores of Lake Kariba, particularly in the eastern and central sections of the park.

This area offers direct access to the lake, which is a focal point for wildlife viewing. Staying here means you're often right on the water's edge, with opportunities for boat safaris and fishing. The proximity to the lake also means you're more likely to see animals coming to drink, providing excellent photographic opportunities from your accommodation.

For couples seeking a romantic and exclusive experience, lodges situated on private concessions within the park's eastern sector are ideal. These often provide secluded chalets with stunning lake views, private decks, and personalised service, making for a very intimate safari. You can enjoy quiet evenings watching the sunset over the water, followed by gourmet dining under the stars.

Families travelling with older children will find the central lakefront area convenient. Many lodges here offer a range of activities, including guided walks, game drives, and boat trips, ensuring there's plenty to keep everyone engaged.
When is the best time to go to Matusadona National Park?
The best time to visit Matusadona National Park is during the dry season, from May to October.

During these months, the weather is cooler and drier, making wildlife viewing significantly easier. The vegetation thins out, and animals tend to congregate around the receding water sources of Lake Kariba, offering excellent photographic opportunities. This period also offers more comfortable temperatures for safari activities like game drives and walking safaris.

For those keen on seeing large herds of elephants and buffalo, July to September is particularly good. The dry conditions mean these animals are often found along the lake shore, providing spectacular sightings from both land and boat. This is ideal for couples or small groups looking for a classic safari experience with high chances of spotting a wide variety of wildlife.

Travellers interested in birdwatching might also find the dry season appealing as many migratory birds are still present before the full onset of the rainy season.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
