I've lived in 5 countries in eastern and southern Africa and been on safari in another five countries in the region. I decided on my return from Bumi Hills Safari Lodge today that this place is equal to any of my previous favorite safari destinations.

The Bumi Hills Safari Resort in Zimbabwe ought to be on every tourist's "Must Visit" list. The staff are awesome and the location is stunning. Only a two-hour boat ride from Kariba (or a much shorter plane ride if you prefer) this resort is the perfect escape on Lake Kariba. The Bream fishing was a thrill, the safari rides took... More

We stayed there at the end of our 3-week trip to Zimbabwe. It was quite expensive but we were told it was worth it and it was totally worth it. It is such a peaceful place, everyone is so friendly, the food is good and every activity was great. Do take the tour to go and visit a Tonga village.... More

Bumi Hills is well located for peaceful views of Lake Kariba and the surrounding African bush veld. Staff are very friendly and attentive, the rooms are spacious and well appointed, if not a bit hot and claustrophobic, the doors and windows are closed due to Baboon problems and air-con only works after 9pm. The general lodge lay out is spectacular... More
