CARIBBEA BAY HOSTS CYCLING EVENT

Kariba town’s largest holiday resort, Caribbea Bay, is the starting point for this year’s Kariba Cycle Challenge which will take place over three days in July-August this year.

This is a great opportunity for active road cyclists to enjoy their sport in Kariba’s spectacular environment with wonderful lake views and in pleasantly mild winter temperatures.

Different cycling activities and courses (varying between 10km and 100km in length) are on offer for each of the three days, depending on the fitness levels of the participants. There is also a 3km Kiddies Race on the last day.

The design of the 83-bedroom Caribbea Resort was inspired by Sardinian architecture and indeed it has a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere about it. Popular as a conference venue which can cater for up to 150 delegates, the resort has an attractive Terrace Restaurant and pool, with magnificent views over the Lake, and a variety of activities on offer including boat cruises, sunset cruises, game drives, game walks, village tours, Kariba dam tours, canoe safaris, fishing and house boat hire, as well as day trips to the Matusadona and Mana Pools National Parks.

Caribbea Bay is offering special rates for participants in the Kariba Cycle Challenge. Entries close on 29th July. For more details, e-mail [email protected]

KARIBA TO GET BIGGER AIRPORT

Kariba might be getting a bigger airport soon - and the Chinese might be funding the project.

China is currently funding the $150 million upgrade of the Victoria Falls International Airport. A new site has been identified in the resort town of Kariba, away from the existing airport, where a much bigger facility is to be built.

The existing Kariba Airport has limitations owing to its size and equipment, which needs upgrading. As a busy tourist destination the upgrade is long overdue.

Besides the Victoria Falls Airport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) is upgrading Joshua Mqabuko International Airport in Bulawayo, Harare International Airport and Buffalo Range Airport in Chiredzi.
