Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is one of 15 lodges operated in three countries (Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia) by African Bush Camps. The founder of ABC, Beks Ndlovu, was originally a professional safari guide in Zimbabwe, but he felt that the safaris being offered were sometimes too structured and stiff, not offering the flexibility to venture out and explore the wonders of the African wilderness in different ways. He branched off to start his own camp (Somalisa Camp) and the rest, as they say, is history!
Bumi Hills is an intimate luxurious safari lodge, taking a maximum of 25 guests. It was taken over by African Bush Camps in 2016, refurbished and opened its doors in 2018. The lodge is located across Lake Kariba in a range of remote hills, adjacent to the world renowned Matusadona National Park. Access to the lodge is either via a boat transfer across the lake, or else a short air charter transfer to the Bumi Hills airstrip.
The lodge is built into the hillside with beautiful wooden decking connecting the various rooms and communal areas. The main entertainment area boasts an infinity swimming pool with probably one of the most magnificent views any infinity pool could have across the lake. The dining decks are also a huge hit with all guests, as they are beautifully and intimately laid out, with the same stunning view of the lake.
Bumi Hills is solar powered with full charging facilitates available in the suites. There is a small library available for guests who would like to take it easy and not participate in any of the wonderful activities the lodge has to offer. For those wanting a real spoiling there is a fabulous spa offering treatments upon request and at an extra charge. The lodge offers 24-hour reception services and has a complimentary Wi-Fi zone in the lounge.
There are 10 Lake View suites and One Baobab Villa.
All the suites are en-suite, non-smoking, with their own private patio, a mini-bar, a digital safe, international multi-sockets/charging points, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a hair-dryer, a mosquito net, guest amenities and complimentary tea/coffee making facilities.
The Baobab Villa, is a 2-bedroomed private villa, comes complete with a private lounge area and indoor and outdoor dining decks which is ideal for families. Offering a personalised experience, the villa comes with the services of a private butler, safari guide and a dedicated safari vehicle.
The suites are serviced daily, with same day laundry service available. Guests have free access to a gym which includes treadmill, stationary bike, rowing machine, free weights and yoga mats.
Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is one of the most beautiful lodges to stay in Kariba, with the Zambezi escarpment as its backdrop, the beautiful blue waters of Lake Kariba in front, and wild life walking along the shoreline below, what better place to stay to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life.
