Norma Jeane's Lakeview Resort

To Lake Mutirikwi first, the biggest inland artificial lake in Zimbabwe. Formerly known as Lake Kyle, this is a pretty place to wander around as well as a popular spot for boating, cruises, sailing and waterskiing. Anglers have plenty to pick from too, with bream, bass and sardines among the lake's 20+ species; this is said to be among the best bass fishing in Zimbabwe, so pack your kit if that's your bag. Across from the lake is the Lake Kyle Recreational Park, rightly hailed by Norma Jeane as a must-see destination. Have a guided hike or hack around the park's rocky hills, lake shore, grassland and woodland, or set out in your own vehicle for game viewing and wildlife watching. You'll also need a long look at Great Zimbabwe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of the ruins of an ancient Iron Age city, and the biggest collection of ruins in Africa south of the Sahara. Although it was abandoned around the 15th century, around 150 structures are still here to see; go along with your camera and prepare to spend some time.
