Take a boat cruise or a fishing trip, a visit to the crocodile farm or a Zambia walking safari on and around the islands - lots of opportunity to appreciate the abundance of Zambian wildlife here. There's a range of wildlife to get to know and bird watching excursions are a must given the magnificent birdlife along these shores. Bird watching excursions are a favourite activity on and around the crocodile breeding dams. There are over 200 species documented so far , including 12 African fish eagles in one tree alone. The dams are also home to thousands of ibis as well as a variety of herons, egrets, vultures, kingfishers, plovers, weavers and much more.
Guided Zambian walking safaris take place on one of the private islands on Lake Kariba, with plentiful wildlife and natural birdlife. They usually take place in the early morning and you can learn about the flora and fauna (including some interesting traditional healing and herbal properties of certain species) and how you can identify different species of wildlife by looking at their spoor (foot prints) and dung.
A canoeing safari around the islands provides a great way of getting to know the local Zambian wildlife. It is a relaxing way to appreciate nature. Snacks and drinks are provided. Fishing safaris on Lake Kariba are also available.
Crocodile farm tours are approximately 2 hours long - starting at the incubator and hatchery, moving all the way up to the breeding dams. The dams, which are completely natural, are home to over 1,500 adult Nile crocodiles! Watch them fight for their share of food. You'll be amazed by the power and strength of these magnificent creatures.
A camping area is available for those with their own tents. For those staying at Kariba Bush Club, facilities include a volleyball court (with floodlights), a large swimming pool, a children's play area, and a well stocked bar (it is known for its ice cold beers). If you enjoy self-catering, there is a self-contained kitchen with storage space. And internet is available to keep you connected whilst in this idyllic remote area.
