Had a fabulous stay at this resort on its own island in the middle of Lake Kariba. Nothing to do except relax! The staff are absoloutely fantastic, the food very good and the drinks very cheap! The rooms are comfortable and clean (there are insects around the rooms but remember where you are, in the middle of the bush, so... More

We had made reservation early to have a tent cabin, we were given a cabin with a view of an electric fence only feet away and a blaring green light shining through the cabin, close the curtain it just got hotter. We asked to be moved and were told no they were full. I noticed that the insect net had... More

As an ex Zim , now living in the UK, it was truley amazing to be back in Kariba and especially that we were able to stay on Spurwing. We went as a party of 10 to celebrate my Dad's 70th.... I manage a large Travel Agency in the South of England, so yes my expectations are high. Spurwing is... More

After two nights in Vic falls and seven nights safari, our four nights here was the perfect relaxation spot with our two girls Helen and Kathryn (11 & 9). We stayed in one of the family chalets near the back of the complex and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The food was excellent and plentiful with fantastic service... More

This was our third visit to Spurwing. We were last there four years ago. It was good before but now even better. A great improvement. The bar and restaurant have both been rebuilt. Furniture around the pool and the bar has been renewed very tastefully. Leonard the barman fortunately still remains! The food was definately better than the last time... More

Stayed in the tented accommodation - which has a concrete floor and thatched roof - overlooking the lake. Efficient attached bathroom and mossie nets provided. The food was simple but very good. Morning Tea or coffee was served to our tents if pre-booked - a real treat before an early start for a game drive. Took advantage of the game... More

I have to disagree with the review by sara978. I am not sure she is even writing about the same place. There was no fire in the out door bar - and with night time temperatures not dropping below 30C we certainly did not need a fire lit. We were welcomed on the beach and our bags carried to our...

We flew in with realistic expectations of a simple relaxing location for a few days chilling as part of a 2 week trip. No real welcome, niggles like no light bulbs not addressed, one of our rooms had no hot water. By the second day we noticed an adjacent room was empty so asked the maid if we could transfer... More

Whilst this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to their own point of view - I am astounded that you (Nikone) deem it necessary to make such a contradictory statement about Spurwing Island! at the beginning you compliment and rave about the island, food, Gary, surprise birthday cakes (which was probably complimentary!) etc, etc, etc - however at...
