Welcome to Binga

Binga, located on the southeastern shores of Lake Kariba, is one of Zimbabwe’s most unique and culturally rich towns. Originally established for the BaTonga people who were displaced by the creation of Kariba Dam, Binga has since grown into a center of fishing, tourism, and culture. Its lakeside setting, hot climate, and traditional lifestyle make it both a retreat and a place of opportunity.
