LOMAGUNDI LAKESIDE

Share this post

Affordable, Comfortable and Scenic

Lomagundi Lakeside is an Association of privately owned homes that were built on the lake’s edge roughly 50 years ago. These homes and self-catering chalets were built by the various fishing clubs around Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, for members who wanted a basic home away from home, where they could bring their families and just get away from their normal routine.

Various accommodation is available for hire by pre-booking. The Association itself hires out the self-catering chalets, which are equipped for all your basic needs.

They have available:
• Eight x 2 bedroomed self-catering chalets
• One x 3 bedroomed self-catering chalets
• Two x 1 bedroomed self-catering chalets
(Chalet 1 has been altered to offer wheelchair access.)

Lomagudi Lakeside also offers 12 beautifully shaded camp sites with braai areas, communal ablutions, water and power points. Mopane wood bundles and ice blocks are available to buy from the reception.

There is a gorgeous pool, available for all residents and visitors (please note that swimming is at your own risk and children without adult supervision will not be allowed to enter).

Situated on the bank of the recently upgraded harbour is a centrally located restaurant and bar called ‘The Dome,’ which is open from 07:00 – 22:00, seven days a week. There is a Thursday night Peri Peri Chicken special, which is a great hit with locals and visitors alike. As well as offering meals, The Dome also has Wi-Fi facilities and full DSTV (for those men who can’t miss the rugby!)

Adjacent to The Dome is the children’s play area, which provides entertainment for the little ones, while the parents can take a load off and enjoy a meal and a cold drink.

The entire Lomagundi Lakeside site is fenced with an electric fence for the security and protection of its residents and visitors, BUT please be aware that this does not keep the hippopotamuses out – they wander around the entire site every evening while grazing on the beautifully kept green lawns. Extreme caution must be taken when walking around after dark – please ensure you bring a decent torch.

For those who want a little something more, there are plenty of activities that can be locally arranged:
• Fishing Charters
• Dam Wall and Crocodile Farm Tour
• Observation point, Project Noah Memorial and St. Barbara’s Church Tour
• Boat Cruises
• Game Drives
• Village Tour
• Tiki catamaran Hire
• Matusadona Day Trip
• Mana Pools Full Day 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
