3-Night Kariba Cruise Travel Itinerary: Day-by-Day Summary
Day 1: Arrival in Kariba – Board the Houseboat
Arrive in Kariba after breakfast, to board one of Zambezi Cruise and Safaris’ houseboats traversing Lake Kariba. We start the 3-day cruise crossing Kariba to Matusadona National Park. This wildlife sanctuary park offers some of the top wildlife activities in Kariba, Zimbabwe.
The Matusadonha Wildlife Park has many rivers and inlets; perfect for tracking the Zambezi wildlife. It is not uncommon to spot lions during game-viewing activities. Other animals commonly seen are the elephants and crocodiles. Kariba has one of the largest populations of crocodiles and hippos in Africa.
As part of the cruise activities, guests can also go fishing on tender boats.

The morning of the second day on your 3-night Kariba cruise is spent exploring our current water wonderland. Soon it is time to head off to our next destination.
This part of the safari entails enjoying the views offered by the Lake Kariba shoreline. Then in the late afternoon, it’s time to moor. It’s time to take another boat excursion, hopefully, to spot some more intriguing wildlife species coming to the water for an evening drink or grazing on the grassy banks.
