Lake Kariba in Zambia

Back to Zambia Map | View Zambia Overland Tours

Before the Lake Kariba was built the area was dry and barren and in need of a constant supply of water. When Lake Kariba was eventually built it provided Zambia with much relief and an endless source of hydro-electric power.

There was much controversy about the dam being built as it destroyed a range of wildlife and local villages. There was also the superstition that the Nyaminyami (the river God of the Zambezi) would get angry if disturbed and thus unleash its powers on the creators.

Lake Kariba is a mass expanse of crystal clear water which makes boating and watersports popular. Houseboats are a unique and popular sight on Lake Kariba. There is a rich flora and fauna life that makes the area attractive for sport fishing and birdwatching. Watch the sun set as you relax on your houseboat. Let yourself gently float across the placid waters of Lake Kariba.
