A must visit for anyone, but especially families with young children.Kariba Ranch caters for the whole family. A massive playground with swings, jumping castles, jungle gyms and trampolines will definitely keep the kids interested. There is a tractor ride for R5 that takes kids around the premises to see the animals up close.For those that dont have kids or just want to enjoy a coffee, the main buildings second floor offers a great lounge where you can eat or drink something.

Beautiful area with all of the animals. But they cater more for families with kids. Waiters seem too few. Had to call for service everytime. Waited very long just for cake.

A lovely venue particularly if you have young kids & the food was great. The service for lunch was slow because they were so busy (Heritage Day) but an hour and a quarter waiting for our food was a bit much.

Child love feeding the animals and the tractor ride, entrance is free and play area well equipped. Milkshake is very nice, service could be a bit better but not nearly as bad service as down the road. Love the relaxing vibe of kariba and the sense of family.

Wow what an amazing time we had must be one of our favourite family time places loved it

Kariba Ranch is an exciting place to entertain the young kiddies. There are animals to look at and feed, a restaurant and a tractor ride. The play area is suitable for children of about 2 and up (just an estimate). There are inflatable jumping castles and obstacle courses as well as the usual fixed kind of climbing jungle gym. To feed the reindeer one goes to the gift shop area and buys the carrots or pellets, the tractor ride tickets can also be bought at the same time. The ducks on the dam enjoy the pellets. There is a life sized chess board if the parents get bored 🤣. Overall positive experience!

Very nice for everyone, kids have a lot of safe play area and birds to look at, wild animals that they can also feed. And parents can sit and enjoy their drinks while kids play. My nephew had his 1st birthday party there this passed weekend. Nice place and the stuff very friendly.

Great place to take your kids. There are bucks, a donkey, zebras, warthogs, ducks, pot belly pigs, chickens and peackocks. They have a fun tracker ride that takes you through the area where the animals are. You can buy carrots and pellets to feed the animals. Has great play facilities, with many jungle gyms and trampolines and lots of open space. It is definitely my favourite place to go with kids. Food is delicious too

I dont have too much to say about this venue.Weve only been here once, but first impressions last and all of that.Over priced and not so friendly staff that was not well trained in customer relations and service.Only thing counting in their favor is that we havent been there in a while, so things might be different now... who knows.
