ACCOMMODATION

Set on a secluded private island within the vast expanse of Lake Kariba, Fothergill Island offers one of Zimbabwe’s most refined and contemporary safari escapes. Surrounded by shimmering waters, remote shorelines, and extraordinary wildlife habitats, the lodge combines sophisticated design with a profound sense of isolation. Accessible primarily by boat, the experience immediately evokes exclusivity, serenity, and complete immersion within one of Southern Africa’s most atmospheric landscapes.

The suites and villas have been carefully designed to blend modern elegance with the natural beauty of the island. Expansive interiors, soft neutral tones, handcrafted furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling openings create seamless connections between indoor comfort and the surrounding lake scenery. Private decks and plunge pools offer uninterrupted views across the water, while the peaceful setting allows guests to fully disconnect within an intimate and highly personalised environment.

Dining at Fothergill Island celebrates both refined simplicity and exceptional local flavours. Meals are served in elegant open-air spaces overlooking the lake, accompanied by carefully selected wines and spectacular sunset panoramas. The lodge’s stylish lounge areas, infinity pool, and tranquil wellness spaces further enhance the atmosphere of understated luxury and relaxation.

Experiences combine both land and water-based exploration. Guests may enjoy guided game drives, boating safaris, catch-and-release fishing, birdwatching excursions, and sunset cruises across the lake. Wildlife encounters range from elephant and buffalo along the shoreline to remarkable aquatic birdlife, creating a safari experience that feels both unique and deeply exclusive.
