Carhora Bassa Dam

Tete Province, Mozambique

The amzing engineering feat of the Cahora Bassa Dam which dams the Zambezi river is one of the worlds largest dams, and the second largest in Africa. The Cahora Bassa dam was originally built to store water and control flooding but was later extended to include a hydroelectric power station which sells excess power to South Africa. The lagoon created by the dam supports some semi-industrial fishing and a relaxing excursion for tourists travelling overland.

Getting to Cahora Bassa:

The nearest airport with scheduled flights is to Tete from where the lodge will collect you and take to to Cahorra Bassa. Driving 1 600 km from South Africa on tar roads all the way is also possible, the route being through eastern Zimbabwe into Mozambique, and then left off the Tete road.
