Kyle View Chalets and Caravan Resort
Our thoughts
Kyle View is a beautiful spot right on the lake. Camping here is simple, but the staff really made it work for us: they gave us the key to a chalet so we could use the shower and toilet, and ran an extension cable so we had power at our camp. They can also do a braai for you, but we were happy cooking for ourselves. The real bonus is the location. It's so close to the Great Zimbabwe ruins that it makes the perfect base for exploring the area.

Overview
Kyle View is on the shores of Lake Mutirikwi, which used to be called Lake Kyle, at the 33 km peg on the Great Zimbabwe Road outside Masvingo. Mutirikwi is Zimbabwe's largest inland man-made lake. Across the water, the recreational park is home to white rhino, buffalo, giraffe and zebra. The resort offers self-catering chalets, camping and boat cruises on the lake. It's also one of the closest places to stay to the Great Zimbabwe ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ask at reception for access to a chalet bathroom and an extension cable for power. Great Zimbabwe is only about 8 km away, so go early in the morning before the heat and the tour groups.
