Situated in Kariba within the Charara Safari area 70km from the Makuti turnoff and 10km from the Zambia Zimbabwe border post, Resta Lodge offers simple but tastefully designed self-catering accommodation.
The property is situated right along the game corridor where guests can enjoy up close encounters with Zebra, Buffalo, herds of the amazing African Elephant and occasionally Kudu and magnificent Hippos that often roam at night time
What makes Resta Lodge truly special is its setting. Zebra graze nearby, herds of Buffalo and Elephants pass through the area, and on quiet nights, the distant sounds of Hippos remind you that you are living alongside nature. It’s an experience that is peaceful, humbling, and unforgettable.
Resta Lodge was created as a place where comfort meets the untamed beauty of nature. Surrounded by open bush and situated along a natural wildlife corridor, our lodge offers guests a rare opportunity to experience Africa’s wildlife while enjoying the privacy and convenience of modern self-catering accommodation.
Designed with families, couples, small groups, and business travellers in mind, the lodge combines simple elegance with practical comfort. From air-conditioned living spaces and a private swimming pool to outdoor BBQ areas and reliable backup power, every detail is intended to make your stay relaxing and stress-free.
Whether you are visiting Kariba for adventure, business, or a quiet escape from the city, Resta Lodge offers a welcoming space to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the African wilderness — without giving up the comforts of home.
At Resta Lodge, your experience goes beyond accommodation. Here, nature, adventure, and relaxation come together.
Because the lodge lies along a game corridor, wildlife sightings are part of daily life. From elephants and zebra to hippos at night, every stay offers the chance to witness Africa’s beauty up close.
Kariba is known for its stunning lake views, fishing adventures, and breathtaking sunsets. Guests can enjoy fishing trips, boat cruises, and sightseeing around one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic destinations.
