Binga is often referred to as Zimbabwe’s best-kept secret, a place where the rugged wild meets the vast, shimmering expanse of Lake Kariba. 

At the heart of this tranquil district lies Journey’s End Lodge, situated at Stand 174, a destination that has become synonymous with peace, reflection, and natural beauty. As the name suggests, this lodge serves as the ultimate conclusion to a long trek through the Zimbabwean bush.

Self Catering option available.

Guests arriving at Stand 174 are immediately greeted by the cooling breeze coming off the lake, a welcome respite from the Zambezi heat. 

Here, the days are measured not by hours or appointments, but by the movement of the sun across the water. Early mornings are often spent on the private decks with a cup of locally grown coffee, watching the mist rise off the lake while fish eagles call out from the nearby canopy. 

For those looking to explore, the beauty of Binga is multifaceted and deeply rooted in its geography. Journey’s End Lodge provides a perfect base for embarking on world-class fishing expeditions, where enthusiasts can test their skills against the formidable Tiger Fish or enjoy a quiet afternoon catching bream. The lodge also facilitates meaningful cultural excursions, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the rich, vibrant heritage of the BaTonga people. 

A visit to the nearby Binga Craft Centre or the local museum reveals a history of resilience and artistry, from intricate basket weaving to the traditional tobacco pipes known as “incelwa.” 

Perhaps the most unique feature of the area is the Binga sand beach, the only inland beach in Zimbabwe, which offers a coastal atmosphere in the heart of the continent.
