Masumu River Lodge boasts spectacular views over Lake Kariba – encapsulating the western waters and characteristic islands of this area. Built into the slope of a hill in the Binga province of Zimbabwe, the lodge offers stunning panoramic vistas from various levels. Nine en suite lodges as well as two family lodges all welcome daydreaming from private verandahs and balconies.
A stay at Masumu River Lodge will not only fulfill your appetite for an African adventure, but satiate your cultural curiosity as well. Binga is an area rich in Tongan culture, and we encourage guests to immerse in and learn about both the past and present ways of the local people.
Masumu River Lodge is an invitation for exploration – of the landscape, waterways, islands, Batonga villages and museums. Your experience of Zimbabwe with Masumu is a multi-faceted adventure – fringed in the comfort of the lodge with air conditioning and private views of the lake for moments of reprieve.
After a day’s expedition, whether on the lake fishing, exploring the town or visiting the hot springs, the view from the lodge calls for cocktails and sunsets. For those who wish to remain on the lake, a sunset cruise is available to soak in more hours on the water, while soaking in the colours of the sky as day gives way to night. A Kariba sunset is truly like none-other, akin to a painting and imprinted in memory.
Reachable by road and light aircraft. Flying into Bulawayo, your drive to Binga will take 7 hours. Flying into Victoria Falls, your drive to Binga will take 5 hours.
It is all about the view at Masumu River Lodge, with each of the 9 en-suite lodges and 2 family lodges boasting panoramics of Lake Kariba. There are various options and spaces which welcome you to relax and surrender to your holiday – in the pool, at the bar, in the lounge or on your own private balcony. Wifi is available at reception to connect with the outside world before you return to soaking in sunsets, gin and tonics and the scenery beyond.
