Overview of Bumi Hills Safari Lodge
With its elevated position above Lake Kariba and a rim flow swimming pool that looks to be flowing into the eternal blue waters, guests would be forgiven for mistaking Bumi Hills Safari Lodge for a beach resort. Nestled in the remote hills, this luxurious lodge offers sensational views of both Africa’s largest man-made lake and the Zambezi River Escarpment.
Having Kariba right on your doorstep means spending days exploring the lake on private boat cruises and trying your hand at tiger fishing. There’s also the option of going on scenic walking safaris around the lake, or venturing further into the surrounding forests to discover fossilised dinosaur footprints. Alternatively, interact with the local community and learn about their history and traditions. While Kariba’s shoreline has a rich diversity of bird species, its floodplain provides for even more game-viewing opportunities. The area is part of an unfenced private concession that is home to a range of wildlife.
Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is a tranquil stop-over between safaris in iconic destinations like Mana Pools, Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls, and even Zambia’s Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Park.

Expert Opinion
We know because we go
Ramona Cilliers
Africa Safari Expert
Although we had great game drives & game viewing, I think this is a perfect addition to any Zimbabwe safari itinerary to include some more diverse experiences such as boat cruises, fishing, walking & authentic Tonga village visits. What I loved most about Bumi was the relaxed no-schedule, no set mealtimes flexibility as well as the pool & spa to enjoy some downtime in between safari activities.
