Kariba to Tamarind Camp (Zambia).

The Safari begins 75 metres below the awesome Kariba Dam Wall on the Zambian bank.
From here we travel through 18 km of steep sided Basalt gorge, which provides a secluded habitat for many Bird, Mammal and Flora species.

The scenery is breathtaking and the calls of the Fish Eagle and Rock Hyrax add to the experience.
In the rainy months, there is the opportunity to relax in the many fresh water streams that pour over the sides of the gorge and to explore these hidden tributaries up into the banks of the river along Elephant and Hippo trails. The trip allows the client plenty of time to drift, fish or explore.

At the end of the 18km gorge the river empties itself onto the Zambezi Flood plain and fans out into channels and shallows. Here the Safari’s Tamarind Camp is nestled into the last hill of the Gorge on the Zambian bank - this is a spot that all should experience. 

The camp enjoys a shady well-hidden sighting beneath a grove of some of the largest spreading Tamarind trees one may find. The rather quaint tents under thatch make for comfortable and Mozzie-free sleeping.
The food is good and it’s only a short hour’s drive back into Kariba the following day
