Situated within a national park on the Charara Peninsula, our little slice of heaven offers a truly unforgettable experience. From our sparkling infinity-edge swimming pool, you can watch hippos playing in the lake, and from the top deck, marvel at the stunning Kariba sunsets. The self-catering lodge is fully air-conditioned, providing all the comforts of home in a serene, natural setting.
To ensure your absolute relaxation, our cook can prepare your meals and take care of the cleaning, allowing you to completely unwind. There is no better way to enjoy Kariba than at Lodge 16, Wild Heritage.
The lodge features four bedrooms: two upstairs, which open onto the top deck, and two on the ground floor. The master bedroom upstairs boasts a king-size bed, while the adjacent room contains three three-quarter beds. Downstairs, one bedroom is equipped with a double bed, and the other has three three-quarter beds.
The downstairs area is open-plan, with the lounge leading into the dining area and then into the fully equipped kitchen. With three deep freezers and two upright fridges, all your food and drinks will stay perfectly chilled in Kariba’s warm climate. We also provide an ice maker for your drinks.
In the event of a power cut, the lodge is equipped with a two-plate gas stove, a gas barbecue (braai), and a generator. The generator can be used for a limited time, with additional use available for a fee.
Outside, you’ll find an alfresco dining area and sun loungers overlooking the infinity-edge pool and the lake. As we are located within a national park, you can often see wildlife such as zebra, hippos, crocodiles, waterbuck, elephants, and occasionally buffalo, all from the comfort of the lodge. Lions have even been known to appear on the floodplains from time to time. Guests are reminded to exercise caution and to avoid walking around the complex at night.
For your entertainment, the lodge includes a home theatre system and an OpenView decoder. However, we kindly ask that guests keep noise to a minimum, respecting both our neighbours and the surrounding wildlife. Failure to adhere to noise restrictions may result in guests being asked to leave the premises.
We also provide a selection of board games, a deck of cards, and a dartboard on the upstairs viewing deck. Additionally, there is a communal area within the Wild Heritage complex where guests can enjoy a larger swimming pool and a barbecue area.
The lodge accommodates a maximum of eight people, including children over the age of two. Guests are reminded to bring their own food, drinks, personal toiletries, and mosquito repellent. While our caretaker is available to assist with any needs, we kindly ask that guests refrain from keeping them up too late.
