Tucked away in a remote corner of northern Zimbabwe, Bumi Hills Safari Lodge offers a truly unforgettable experience. This is not merely a place to stay, it’s a destination that inspires awe from the moment you arrive. With panoramic views of Lake Kariba unfolding from nearly every angle, it’s the kind of retreat that makes you pause, breathe, and simply take it all in. Whether for a romantic escape or a once-in-a-lifetime family adventure, this lodge sets the tone for something extraordinary.
Exceptional Location
The lodge’s elevated position on a ridge provides one of the most dramatic vistas in all of Africa. Guests are treated to endless views of sparkling waters and wildlife-rich shores, creating a sense of absolute immersion in nature. From the edge of the infinity pool, the lake and sky blur into one mesmerising horizon. It’s a rare location where tranquillity and adventure exist side by side, making it perfect for those seeking a blend of serenity and discovery.
Unique Activities
Days here are filled with possibilities, from guided game drives tracking lions and elephants to gentle cruises across Lake Kariba. The private conservancy teems with wildlife, offering intimate encounters free from crowds. There are walking safaris for the curious, catch-and-release fishing for the patient, and birdwatching for the passionate. Cultural excursions to local communities and special experiences like the Lady Jacqueline cruise add layers of depth to your stay.
Accommodation
The lodge features ten beautifully appointed suites, each designed to maximise privacy and views. Air-conditioned rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, stocked mini-bars, and private decks that face out towards the shimmering lake. It’s a seamless blend of comfort and elegance, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure.

Bumi is the best !
“An all-round amazing experience at Bumi, whether it was the excellent rooms the overall layout of the resort the fantastic views of the bush and Lake Kariba, the superb food. But what made it really special was the exceptional staff throughout Bumi, who could not do enough to make our stay comfortable and who were always accommodating. Everyone was smiling and happy. A special shout out to Mazvie, Tongai, Little Max, Simeon and Sheckie! Thank you!”

Beautiful experience!
“Bumi is very special! It’s definitely a place you come to relax and not your traditional safari lodge! Don’t expect big game and adventure! Enjoy the laid-back vibes and go on lake cruises, village visits and go fishing! It was such a highlight of my stay! Nyasha, Simeon, Lemon, Sunshine every single person there went above and beyond! I know I’m leaving out names! Thank you, my time was wonderful!”

Fabulous lodge on Lake Kariba
“Bumi Hills is perfection. Gorgeous rooms on the hill offer stunning views and excellent comfort. Chef Sunshine prepared delightful meals and my Mola Village visit led by guide Power was a dream come true. The sunset lake cruise offered my opportunity to get fabulous photos, as did our nature and game drives. I can’t wait to return. African Bush Camps outshines other safari providers.”
