Bumi Hills Safari Lodge
Overview of Bumi Hills Safari Lodge
Zimbabwe, Matusadona National Park, Lake Kariba
With its elevated position above Lake Kariba and a rim flow swimming pool that looks to be flowing into the eternal blue waters, guests would be forgiven for mistaking Bumi Hills Safari Lodge for a beach resort. Nestled in the remote hills, this luxurious lodge offers sensational views of both Africa’s largest man-made lake and the Zambezi River Escarpment.
Having Kariba right on your doorstep means spending days exploring the lake on private boat cruises and trying your hand at tiger fishing. There’s also the option of going on scenic walking safaris around the lake, or venturing further into the surrounding forests to discover fossilised dinosaur footprints. Alternatively, interact with the local community and learn about their history and traditions. While Kariba's shoreline has a rich diversity of bird species, its floodplain provides for even more game-viewing opportunities. The area is part of an unfenced private concession that is home to a range of wildlife.
Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is a tranquil stop-over between safaris in iconic destinations like Mana Pools, Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls, and even Zambia's Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Park.

Expert Opinion
We know because we go
Ramona Cilliers
Africa Safari Expert
Although we had great game drives & game viewing, I think this is a perfect addition to any Zimbabwe safari itinerary to include some more diverse experiences such as boat cruises, fishing, walking & authentic Tonga village visits. What I loved most about Bumi was the relaxed no-schedule, no set mealtimes flexibility as well as the pool & spa to enjoy some downtime in between safari activities.

With an unbeatable vantage point over Lake Kariba to the twinkling fishing boats on the Zambian side way in the distance at night, and on level with the soaring African Fish Eagles at night, Bumi Hills is nothing short of iconic.

Bumi was even better. The lodge is in a wonderful position and every single one of the staff members we encountered were extremely friendly, skilled, enthusiastic, obliging and professional. Madison, the game ranger who took us fishing and on game drives and boat cruises was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and accommodating and warm. He is an absolute Gem who played an important role in making our visit to Bumi so enjoyable.
The pilot, Ronald, who flew us to and from Vic Falls and Bumi was also extremely friendly as well as skilled and professional. Everyone we encountered in Zim spoke impeccable English and Gordon was bowled over by how friendly the Zimbabwean people are.
