Crowned Eagle Boutique Hotel

Share this post

Crowned Eagle Boutique Hotel is a newly opened boutique hotel, which is unusual for Kariba.  It is located on Mica Point, near the Dam Wall, with magnificent sunrise views over Lake Kariba.  The hotel has a surrounding wall, with secure parking provided in a bay opposite the hotel entrance.

The hotels’ hub is most definitely the entertainment area, which is made up of a large open-plan lounge area, with beautiful wildlife paintings and engraved wooden pillars.  A lot of attention has been paid to the décor of this hotel and the more you look around, the more you notice this.  To the left of the central area you follow the steps down to the pool area surrounded by manicured lawns and gorgeous palms and a flamboyant tree.  The lighting here at night is spectacular.  Adjacent to the pool is the bar (which is currently not stocked as guests use the sister lodge down the hill for meals and drinks.  Guests are welcome to bring back drinks from Kariba Safari Lodge to chill in their bedroom mini bars).

There are 13 en-suite rooms, made up of 3 “blocks.”  The first block has rooms 1-5 and is on the upper level to the right of the lounge area overlooking the lake. Rooms 6-9 are to the left, on the same level overlooking the pool.  Rooms 10-13 are on the lower level and also overlook the pool.  All the rooms have 2 chairs and a table in which to relax in, as well as their own patio with another 2 chairs and a table for those wishing to sit out in the fresh air. Rooms 1-9 are double rooms with king size beds, while 10-13 are twins rooms. The en-suite bathrooms have “his and her” basins, a toilet, a large shower and a beautiful dressing table, mirror and chair.  All the rooms have air conditioning, mosquito nets and mini bars.  There is a complimentary tea and coffee station in the mean lounge area for guests use.

Crowned Eagle Boutique Hotel is a great place to stay in Kariba.  Whether you are taking advantage of the cool air conditioned rooms, or the great location and views, a stay at Crowned Eagle is a must on your next trip.

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures.  The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent.  The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. 

Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for.

I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then!

Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic!

I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara,

Cheers and thanks again

Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24.  Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
