Lake Kariba - The lifestyle during 1963 - 1965 - Including Irvin & Johnson Fishing Operations
This documentary film provides an insight into what life was like living at Lake Kariba in Rhodesia. It was a unique period in time where people made their own entertainment and enjoying life in a small community. This story also covers some of the events surrounding the Irvin & Johnson Kariba Fishing Operations. The company's fish products were very popular in Rhodesia.
Many of the photos and videos were photographed by family members (featured prominently in this film) during the 1960's & 1970's.

Oh gosh....the memories of Kariba. We spend our holidays camping at Caribbea Bay. I remember driving with my dad and uncle up to the town Kariba, seeing buffalo and elephants along the way. Mentioning Salisbury...up til this day I still talk about Salisbury. What an beautiful country it used to be...but the beautiful memories will always live on in my heart.

I was at Kariba in 1965 when Ian Smith declared UDI. What memories.
Could listening to this for hours, Beautifully done and with such harmony!
Very nice memories and a lovely lady.
Beautiful
Wonderful memories of a wonderful country.. Kariba is still a great place to be .. nice family memories.. thanks for sharing !
So enjoyed having my mind taken back to long lost memories. My father worked for Irvin and Johnson in Bulawayo during those years. It was a lovely time.
kariba, a very special place.......Hot as hell, plenty Tshabulies, great fishing.....Memories forever
Thank you for telling the untold stories of Rhodesia I wish black and white had moved together this lady shows me that her and her husband did a lot for Rhodesia now everything had been destroyed by our so called liberators!!!
As someone who enjoys fishing I liked the story.
wow, very well made. Her calm voice, the music in the background, together with all the old pictures...It's probably a good thing, I didn't live there during those times to have all those memories like this lady has, as it would be very upsetting to see what happened to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe after Mugabe's takeover. Country run into total ruins.
Great Zim.stories
HOME 🙏.

Lovely memories to treasure 🙏 I remember scanning all our negatives (with a professional scanner), and it took 12 minutes to scan a strip of 4 photos. It was like reliving all our memories in slow motion…
