Our Journey
More Than a Resort.
A Lifestyle.
For 8 years, Palawani Lakeworld Resort has been Zimbabwe's premier agri-tourism destination.
From Vision to
Lakefront Reality
It started with a simple belief: that Zimbabweans deserved a getaway that didn't require a passport or a plane ticket. A place where adventure meets agriculture, where luxury meets the lake.
In 2016, Palawani Lakeworld Resort opened its gates on the shores of a 17km lake. What began as a weekend fishing spot has grown into a 7-star agri-tourism lifestyle center.
Today, we welcome over 230 guests every month. We have hosted leadership bootcamps, anniversaries, and corporate retreats. We have watched children catch their first fish and couples renew their vows at sunset.
