MAZIBA BAY
Upper Zambezi River |
| A few kilometres from Maziba Bay, the mighty
Zambezi River reaches a 1 500m wide basalt dyke,
which creates the magnificent waterfall known as
Ngonye Falls. Maziba Bay is set in a gorge below the
second largest waterfall on the Zambezi river the
Ngonye Falls, where the Zambezi is narrow and fast
flowing, with dramatic cascading rapids in volcanic
rock. Maziba Bay lies a stone’s throw south of the
Falls, where the camps private thatched chalets are
set in a secluded sandy bay. Each of the chalets are
en-suite and overlook an expanse of “coral white”
beach and the basalt black cliffs which harness the
mighty Zambezi River. |
| At Maziba you can take a boat ride up the gorge
through the rapids to get to the Ngonye Falls and
take a picnic basket along to spend the day swimming
in the rock pools and having lunch overlooking the
magnificent falls. The fishing at Maziba Bay is
excellent and you stand a good chance of catching a
big tiger in the fast flowing rapids or the boiling
pot of the falls. |
| Royal Barotse Safaris offer an amazing fly-in
safari that offers you a journey in the “footsteps”
of Livingstone. An adventure down the Zambezi -
fishing, birding and soaking up the magnificent
river. As you travel downriver from Maziba to
Mutemwa you will encounter hippo, crocodile, cape
clawless otter, monitor lizards, abundant birdlife
including the noble fish eagle as well as the happy
and smiling Lozi people in their Mekoro's. Migrating
herds of elephant from the Sioma Ngwezi National
Park and Northern Botswana are often spotted along
the banks of the Zambezi, as this piece of Africa's
wildlife is returning to its former glory. |
