Rhino Safari Camp

My wife and I are regular visitors to Kariba since living there in the late 1970's and normally use our own cabin cruiser to tour the lake staying on board to enjoy our fishing and enjoying seeing game on the shores . As RSC had a special rate this Christmas we decided to stay for 4 nights there. We were not disappointed and found that the hospitality from Jenny and Karl Wright, and their staff was pure 'home from home' obviously finely honed from the 20 years of experience there. There was a sense that 'nothing was too much trouble' combined with a passion for wildlife from the smallest insects, birds to the largest animals. Their staff were all particularly helpful especially the 'marine staff' which was important to us. The food was very good, varied and well presented given the location of the Camp. We enjoyed dining with other guests at the communal table. The Wrights enjoyed mingling with all the guests, introducing them to each other which made the atmosphere very easy for all to mix. The rooms are simple but very comfortable, particularly the beds, and even in the extreme heat of December we enjoyed a breeze most of the night, assisted by a solar fan. Our bathroom was also simple but functioned perfectly with a good flow of hot and cold water. The view from our chalet (7) was amazing and to wake with this view of the lake and the large area of shoreline was relaxation personified. Our fishing in the surrounding inlets of Elephant Point proved successful with easy access good and productive fishing sites, certainly comparable to other areas such as Gordons and Palm Bay. To conclude, for us in our own boat, if one is going to stay on Kariba, I would say that this is the perfect place with access to the more unspoilt side of Kariba and yet close enough from our launch site of Andora Harbour to arrive in just over an hour in decent weather.

My favorite holiday spot in Zim. Rustic and in the bush with no commercial feel and yet remains exceptionally comfortable. Fabulous food, friendly helpful staff, beautiful views and being in the african bush is its own kind of magic. Best place ever to relax and unwind

Our 3 night stay at Rhino Safari Camp was a great experience. The hospitality by the camp staff was excellent with accommodation and food beyond expectation. On offer were game drives within the Matusadona National Park and boating excursions on Lake Kariba. The birding was excellent with in excess of 90 species being encountered. Game around the island included a pride of Lion and daily visits into the camp by Elephant. Both Camp Management and Guiding staff were accommodating and prepared to go the extra mile to meet our specific needs.

Absolutely fantastic - warm hospitality, excellent staff, fabulous game viewing - awesome bird watchers paradise. Absolutely loved our short stay - definitely recommend Rhino Safari Camp to any nature lover!

Pure escapism and relaxation. If you want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of your everyday world and reconnect with nature then consider this gem as your next retreat destination! Breathtakingly beautiful sunsets and unique lake vistas, Rhino Safari Camp’s unique location and personable staff allows one to truly enjoy this African bush paradise. The wildlife in and around the camp was the highlight of our trip. The solitude of the bush walks and game drives is unmatched, making Matusadona National Park is an unforgettable place. We can’t thank Rhino Safari Camp enough for their amazing hospitality. Omar and Natasha
