By Letwin Mazarura
Kariba October Festival organisers will host this year’s three-day edition of the fiesta from today till Sunday.
The festival organisers, Zim Events, said an array of activities will take place to make the festival worth time sparing.
The festival has been running under Zim Events Kariba Boat Cruise and Glow Event since 2019 and has attracted revelers from neighboring countries such as Zambia and South Africa.
Guests will be treated to a 10-hour boat cruise as part of the fiesta’s activities
The two-day event caters for three boating categories — silver, gold and platinum.
“The opening ceremony, that will be followed by a bonfire party, will be staged at Tamarind Resort.
“Today, we are having a 10-hour boat cruise that starts with an array of activities giving patrons a chance to acclimatise to the Kariba environment,” said Zim Events.
“As part of the festival, there will be Zumba, boozers’ soccer match at Nyamhunga Stadium featuring top boozers’ teams in Zimbabwe, Hustlers 11 that will play Kariba Heights Boozers Club. Other activities to expect include a beauty spa on board.”
Zim Events said the festival is in line with their mandate of promoting domestic tourism so that locals can appreciate what the resort town offers and any other tourism attractions in the nation.
The cruise will include docking at Sampakarumba island and also activities that consist of parasailing, fishing and sunset cruise back to the harbour.
After the cruise, there will be an after-cruise fish braai party at Tamarind Resort with an array of activities happening that include pool party and fish braaing.
Tourism is one of the sectors that was greatly affected by Covid-19 pandemic and slowly getting back in game after lifting most of the restrictive Covid-19 lockdown regulations.
