Fothergill Island Camp

Welcome to Fothergill, an exclusive retreat nestled in the stunning Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe. Surrounded by the majestic Matusadona Mountains and bordered by the serene Lake Kariba to the north, as well as the Ume and Sanyati rivers on either side, this pristine wilderness is home to a thriving ecosystem.

The ever-changing grasslands, shaped by the seasonal ebb and flow of Lake Kariba’s waters, have led to a remarkable surge in the populations of iconic African wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, and various plains game. This flourishing herbivore community has attracted a diverse array of predators, creating unforgettable scenes of wildlife along the iconic drowned forest shoreline.

The camp comprises 10 spacious tented suites, including luxurious Lake Suites and charming family suites. Each exudes a bright and airy ambiance, adorned with unique decor inspired by natural tones and African influences that harmonize with the surrounding landscape.

Guests can unwind in the inviting public areas, equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and ample space for relaxation or remote work. Both the Lake Suites and Little Fothergill feature inviting swimming pools, alfresco seating areas, and shady indoor lounges and dining spaces. Delight in freshly prepared meals served in various enchanting settings around the camp, from the tranquil banks of Lake Kariba to the heart of Matusadona National Park.

At Fothergill, they embrace conservation efforts by supporting local trusts and implementing sustainable practices such as solar-powered infrastructure and responsible sport fishing.
