“URGENTLY needs investment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2013

I caught my first 4 fish ever (a real thrill) and deepened my tan. The room's aren't lavish, but the mosquito nets work and the beds are quite comfortable, (although... More

“Memorable Kariba”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2012

I stayed at Tiger Bay Lodge in Kariba for five nights in September 2012, with my partner, toddler and Mum-in-law. This was my first visit to Zimbabwe, and the Tiger Bay Lodge proved to be an oasis. The location was spectacular, we saw lots of game at dusk going to the lake shore for water. The accommodation was comfortable and... More

It offers unique accommodation and leisure facilities and boasts a sense of calm and tranquility that can only be found in the African bush.

“Tiger Bay visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2012

After many years of hearing about this resort we finally got a chance to visit for a weekend. A wonderful experience. Scenic accommodation right on the Umi River. Hippos were munching the vegetation right outside our chalet during the night. A super experience.

Fishing very good and all close proximity to the lodge. Staff were excellent and really try their hardest. The rooms are all in great... More
