Bumi Hills Safari Lodge

Matusadona National Park, Zimbabwe

About Bumi Hills Safari Lodge

Perched majestically atop a range of hills overlooking the vast, shimmering expanse of Lake Kariba, Bumi Hills Safari Lodge offers one of the most spectacular settings in Zimbabwe. Bordering the wild Matusadona National Park, the lodge occupies a private concession that serves as a vital corridor for wildlife moving between the mountains and the lake’s fertile shoreline. The character of the lodge is a sophisticated blend of contemporary luxury and classic safari charm, where the infinity pool seems to merge seamlessly with the lake’s horizon, and the red-gold sunsets create a tranquil atmosphere often likened to a luxury beach resort in the heart of the African bush. The accommodation is designed to maximize the breathtaking panoramas, featuring ten elegant Lakeview Suites and the exclusive two-bedroom Baobab Villa. Each suite is an oasis of comfort, boasting polished contemporary African décor, air-conditioning, and private decks that offer uninterrupted views of the game-rich shoreline below and Starvation Island in the distance. The lodge’s main areas are equally impressive, featuring open-air dining terraces, a stylish bar, and a fire pit where guests gather under the starlit sky. With a focus on both relaxation and adventure, Bumi Hills provides a diverse safari experience that balances traditional land-based game viewing with unique water-based activities on one of the world's largest man-made reservoirs.
