Lake Kariba

Dam Wall:
The arching 579 metre wide dam wall rises 128 metres above the Zambezi River and Kariba Gorge. The structure contains over one million cubic metres of concrete which, at the base, is 24 metres thick.

Great Zimbabwe:
This Iron Age site, the symbol modern Zimbabwe took it's name from, lies 17 miles from Masvingo and is the remains of an extensive town built around 1200 AD. The word 'Zimbabwe' is derived from Shona words that mean 'houses of stone' or 'venerated house'.
