BUMI HILLS SAFARI LODGE

The rooms complement the vistas with contemporary design that combines clean lines and a soft grey palette with the natural textures of wood and stone. The en suite bathrooms feature double vanity basins carved from irregular chunks of rock that sit alongside deep, freestanding bathtubs. Air conditioning keeps the African heat at bay, though there is plenty of fresh air on the private balcony - the perfect place to relax and take in Kariba's famously kaleidoscopic sunsets. 

Bumi Hills' main lodge comprises a comfortable lounge hung with elaborate wooden chandeliers, traditional artworks and artefacts, plus a dining room lit by flickering lanterns. Inside flows to outside, with an expansive wooden deck for alfresco dining, plus a sparkling blue infinity pool.
