From their vantage point above the shores of Lake Kariba, it’s Bumi Hills Safari Lodge ten spectacular suites that take African riviera living to natural-fibred new heights. The views alone are worth the visit to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge. At just the right angle, it’s impossible to tell where the infinity pool ends and the world’s largest man-made lake begins. Not to be outdone by the vista, impressive herds of impala, buffalo and clay-coloured elephants dot the floodplain by day, and lions roar from the Matusadona foothills by night. Summon a Malawi Shandy* from your private butler, cast a bream rod between the lake’s iconic dead trees and wait for drums to summon you to dinner.
*A giddy mix of sweet ginger beer, bitters and Mazoe orange. Quintessentially Zimbabwean – despite the misleading name.
