Africa's largest dam, at 226 kilometres long and up to 40 kilometres wide, Lake Kariba is a brilliant location to wind down with some stunning scenery, idyllic cruises, beautiful sunsets, and relaxed fishing.
Water sports can be enjoyed, or just spend time drifting along in a houseboat, watching the world sail by.
Tiger fish and bream are the most common catches here, with an annual tiger fishing competition being held at the lake, attracting anglers from all over Southern Africa.
It is possible to arrange a houseboat for a great few nights of staying right on the lake, with all necessary amenities and provisions taken care of.
This is a wonderful way to relax, with fishing or watersports being available as entertainment.
