Zimbabwe Hotels and Resorts - It would be impossible to deny the political unrest that has dogged Zimbabwe in the last couple of years, however those that do visit Zimbabwe will find the rewards far out weigh the perceived risks. Zimbabwe's tourism highlights are well away from urban centres and with a network of charter and scheduled flights able to whisk you into remote game viewing country, it is easy to spend 2 weeks here and never see or hear of trouble.

Much of Zimbabwe consists of a central plateau or highveld which stretches from southwest to northeast with a mountainous region along the Eastern border rising up to 2440m (8000ft) in altitude. From south to north the country extends from the Limpopo to the Zambezi, rivers with names that evoke the mystery of Africa. Wildlife is plentiful and you may choose to see it on guided game drives, walking safaris or from the river, whichever way, you will be escorted by some of Africa's most highly qualified and informative safari guides.

Zimbabwe is as rich in natural resources as in natural beauty. The Eastern Highlands boast golf courses and trout steams, Mana Pools and Hwange National Parks offer unparalleled game viewing and there are another 8 more remote National Parks. There are the historic ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the spectacle and adventure of Victoria Falls. All this adds up to a safari experience that is packed with diversity and adventure.

Caribbea Bay Sun Hotel Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe Hotel Rating : Reserve Inquire View Rates

Situated right on the lake shore overlooking the vastness of Lake Kariba this resort hotel has everything to offer and a casino as well.

ACCOMMODATION: There once was a time when Zimbabwe was blessed with every natural asset except one; within its borders were rivers, mountains, deserts and wildlife galore, but being landlocked, the country had no coastline that it could call its own. In 1958, all that changed. With the completion of the Kariba dam, a jewel of an inland sea was created, two hundred kilometers long and forty wide at its widest. Apart from giving the country much needed hydro-electricity, Lake Kariba now serves as the source of countless pleasures, fishing and sailing among them. The wildlife on the banks is also a sight to behold. Elephant, buffalo, rhino and a host of smaller game are abundant, while the waters of the lake itself support more than forty different species of fish, as well as hippo and crocodiles. Lake Kariba is studded with islands and surrounded by mountains. Of the wildlife areas which fringe the shores, the most intriguing is found at the Matusadona National Park. Once on dry land, these thousands of teak trees were half submerged in water as the lake slowly expanded to its present dimensions. Today the skeletal branches of the trees jut into the sky from another world. At the downstream end by the dam, the town of Kariba various hotels, casinos and restaurants. The summit of the hill above the town offers a spectacular panorama of the lake, the dam wall and the downstream gorge. Here stands the Church of Saint Barbara, to honor those who lost their lives constructing the dam.       HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES: All rooms have balcony, shower, bath, shaver socket outlet, air-conditioning, overhead fan, direct dial telephone - bedside, minibar - in suites, television: colour satellite, CNN etc., radio: local, BBC World Service etc., plug: 13 amp square, voltage: 110 / 220.
