About
Osborne Dam is a large reservoir outside Mutare. One reviewer calls it the largest lake in Manicaland and one of Zimbabwe's major inland waters. It suits anglers and people who want a quiet weekend by the water not far from town. It is rated 4.2 from 14 Google reviews.
Fishing comes up most often. Visitors mention fresh fish and a good view of the dam wall. One found fully furnished lodges and good camping sites, along with a fair amount of wildlife around the shore. Others talk about how calm and quiet it is, and about the pleasant weather.
One reviewer liked that it is close to the centre, which makes it an easy trip for a day or a night.
