Sinazongwe Hot Springs

Sinazongwe Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site in the Southern Province of Zambia, located near the shores of Lake Kariba — one of the world's largest man-made lakes, created by the damming of the Zambezi River and renowned for its outstanding wildlife and fishing. The bicarbonate thermal waters emerging from the Zambezi rift valley geology at Sinazongwe offer a simple but genuinely wild African hot spring experience in a setting of spectacular lake scenery, mopane woodland, and the rich wildlife of the Zambezi basin including elephant, hippopotamus, and an extraordinary diversity of birdlife. The remote and undeveloped character of Sinazongwe, far from major tourist infrastructure, gives the hot springs an atmosphere of raw African wildness that is increasingly rare in the developed world. Sinazongwe Hot Springs is a thermal destination for adventurous travelers seeking an authentic encounter with Zambia's natural geothermal resources in one of southern Africa's most dramatically beautiful lake environments.
