The world's largest man-made lake by volume.
Kariba dam was built in 1958, flooding a section of the Zambezi 280km long. The result is a lake the size of a small country, with fossil tree stumps standing in the water and elephants that swim between islands. It is a different pace from a game-drive safari: houseboats, fishing, and slow evenings on deck.
Access via Kariba town (drive or fly from Harare, about 4 hours). Houseboats range from basic to super-luxury (chef on board, AC cabins). The lake has crocodile and hippo, so swim only where the operator confirms it is safe.
