Kariba Travel Guide
Zimbabwe
Kariba is a small lakeside town in northern Zimbabwe, with a population of 25,531. It sits on the southern shore of Lake Kariba and is a base for exploring the lake and surrounding area.
Travellers arriving by air use Kariba Airport, the town’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the nearby coastline is better understood as Lake Kariba’s shoreline rather than a destination for organised beach trips.
