Bumi Hills
A lakeshore ridge west of Matusadona, offering views over the lake from the cliff top. The lakeside meadows below are home to elephants and buffalo.
Bumi Hills lies on the southern shore of Lake Kariba, west of Matusadona National Park. The safari lodge on the ridge offers unobstructed views of the lake and the Umi River mouth, making it one of the best sunset viewpoints in the lake area. The lakeshore grassland below is home to elephants, buffalo, hippos and a rich variety of birds. A local foundation runs anti-poaching and community conservation projects, and visitors can take part in tours. Getting there takes about 2 to 3 hours by speedboat from Kariba town, or by charter flight. Visitors usually stay at lakeside camps for two nights or more, on the same route as Matusadona.
