Introduction

Bumi Hills is located on top of a hill overlooking Lake Kariba, the perfect location for sunrises, sunsets and sighting wildlife at the lake edge. There are very few lodges in Southern Africa that sit in such a prime position; views are amazing, utterly amazing.

Bumi Hills Safari Lodge offers up game drives, walking safaris, boating, fishing, village visits and sunset cruises. Each of the activities offers up the chance to spot a wide variety of wildlife including; elephant, buffalo, kudu, and impala abound, while lions can be heard on the hunt.

Nearly 400 bird species have already been documented in this region of Zimbabwe.

In our opinion, a few nights stay here is a must for anyone visiting Zimbabwe.
