Kariba Airport — Kariba, Zimbabwe

Kariba Airport (KAB) serves the resort town of Kariba on the shores of Lake Kariba, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. KAB primarily supports tourism tied to the lake, including houseboat cruises, fishing charters, and visits to nearby Matusadona National Park and Kariba Dam. The airport handles light domestic traffic connecting to Harare and Victoria Falls, along with charter and safari-tourism flights. Its runway and facilities are modest, consistent with its role as a gateway to a leisure destination rather than a major transport hub. KAB's importance is closely tied to Zimbabwe's tourism economy, and traffic levels have historically mirrored broader fluctuations in the country's tourism industry and regional stability.
