| With its recent renovation and fresh approach, Cutty Sark is clearly the most suitable hotel venue in Kariba. The deluxe rooms offer amongst the best comfort and convenience in town, the budget rooms on the complex are ideal for those who would prefer to save money without feeling like backpackers on a shoestring! Whichever way you look at it, Cutty Sark offers value for money irrespective of whether you’re in transit between safaris, on holiday with the family or on business. Cutty Sark is located on 120 acres of private land on the Lake Kariba shoreline, 12km from Kariba airport and shares shore frontage with Breezes Marina for boating activities and motor launch transfers. The hotel acts as Kariba’s depot for the
EuropCar/Hertz and local taxis. |

It also has representative offices for Safari Par Excellence, A&K, Zambezi Safari and Travel Co., Sail Safaris, UTc and TSZ. For self sufficient visitors in their own vehicles, it offers the best stopover in town.
The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. The setting is amidst one of Africa’s least spoiled wildernesses with a magical view across Lake Kariba’s eastern basin. The food is great. The company is always excellent. You’ll have a choice between al fresco in the dining room or terrace, or a bush dinner on the shore under the stars, with tribal dancers and a fine ethnic touch. The hotel is managed by Costa Tsunga, Zimbabwe’s “Hospitality Man of the Year - 1996” now in his 14th year at Cutty
Sark.
Cutty Sark is suited for kids and conference groups alike. Both will find time and place to play and work – whether it’s hard fishing for the elusive Tiger (pound for pound, considered the best fresh-water fighting fish on the planet), relaxing at the pool, exercising on the all weather and floodlit tennis court, bashing the table in the conference room or tackling your first “jungle gym” – perhaps you just need a place to crash and freshen up after 4 days of tapping the Zambezi River.
A bar serviced cruise boat, ideal for game viewing, photography or just relaxation operates from the hotel’s shoreline. There is also a full day cruise with lunch. Enquires can be made at the tour office for further details. Kariba has a host of activities if you are active and adventurous as well sightseeing and game viewing.
