One of the most amazing/ beautiful place to visit in Africa.

Kariba is one of the most amazing/ beautiful places I have ever visited. Kariba is a town in Mashonaland West Province of Zimbabwe located close to the Kariba Dam at the northwestern end of Lake Kariba, near the Zambian border.

Kariba town is the centre of the tourist industry for the Lake Kariba region. Kariba town provides accommodation in various hotels and lodges. There are two casinos in the town and several restaurants. Many of the attractions in Kariba for the tourist are water-based. Fishing, house-boating, e.c.t are the most popular activities. A visit to the Kariba Dam wall is also impressive along with a visit to the crocodile farm.

For those people who love fising Kariba would be the best place for them. Bumi is the prime fishing region of Kariba and is a major attraction that sets Bumi apart from any traditional luxury safari lodge. Here it is rated one of Africas Top 20 adventures. Youll thrill to catching the razortoothed tiger, pound-for-pound one of the worlds most powerful freshwater species. Every October since 1962 game fishermen from all over the world converge for the Kariba International Tiger Fishing Tournament (www.kitft.co.zw) and the record is an awesome 15.5kg. Fishing is year-round and you may also catch bream, tilapia, vundu, chessa and cornish jack. 
           
Kariba is also a fun place for people that like me to here myth stories because their is a myth story of Nyami Nyami.The Nyami Nyami, otherwise known as the Zambezi River God or Zambezi Snake spirit, is one of the most important gods of Tonga people. Nyami Nyami is believed to protect the Tonga people and give them sustenance in difficult times. The River God is usually portrayed as male.
