On the shores of Lake Kariba, within the Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe, rests our magical oasis of Fothergill. A place where travel dreams, rich African traditions, and fascinating history combine to form a safari experience like no other.

Two unique and beautiful camps surround alfresco living and pool areas as well as dining and bar tents, the perfect spaces for relaxation, restoration and good conversation.

Five bright and breezy double or twin suites, plus two family suites with two bedrooms, in either the mopane forest or on the lakeshore, all with private outdoor decks.

Three suites with a separate living area that can be booked exclusively for ultimate privacy and comfort, or combined with the Lake Suites for larger groups.
