BOOK YOUR TRIP EARLY
We prefer to use small and intimate accommodations, managed by local touroperators who support the local people and their environments - at the most remote and unique locations avoiding mass tourism. These exclusive accommodations are extremely popular and are booked up very quickly. Some of them can only accommodate up to 8 people. If you are interested in any safari that we offer we advise you to contact us early so we can make arrangements and be sure to fit in the accommodation of your choice into your itinerary.

Zimbabwe - Lake Kariba

The perfect holiday!

Whether it be viewing game from the decks along the shoreline of the Matusdona National Park, fishing amongst the deep dark waters around fossilized trees, a bit of both or just sunbathing on the top deck, you will certainly fall in love with this spectacular place and it's people.
Combine an active walking safari with the comfort and luxury of a Houseboat. Based on two people - 4 days including walking safaris-
you can book a houseboat from € 600,- p.p.


Houseboat safaris are a fantastic way to experience the wilderness and wildlife of Matusadona and lake Kariba. With a houseboat you will be able to tie up on the shores and explore on foot the bush of the Matusadona National Park. Houseboats also make the most fantastic photographic platforms that allow you to make some stunning scenery shots and views of the wildlife which you will not be able to get on land. All of the boats offer comfort and all facilities needed and are skippered by qualified and dedicated men; qualified in the job they do and dedicated to give you an adventure of your life. All houseboats have comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets, a lounge, bar and a sundeck with sunbeds. All houseboats have a tender to manoeuvre into the smaller channels and creeks to get on shore. These tenders will also be used for spectacular sundowner cruises.

Early in the morning and late afternoon the boat will tie up at the shores of Matusadona or Charara for a walk and tracking the lions.The shoreline also attracs many buffalos, impalas and elephants. During these trips you are accompanied by your personal armed guide/hunter who will let you enjoy your safari to the fullest. At the hottest part of the day, a well earned meal will be served on deck and you will have time to sit back and enjoy the view and cool breeze while the boat is moving on to another spot. But you can also throw out an angle. The lake is home to a diverse fish population including the famous Tigerfish. When desired, fishingrods, tackle and bait can be provided!

There is a wide choice of houseboats that can host from 4 to 40 people and all the boats have a qualified captain & crew. Most boats have a sun deck and many have small pools for 'cooling off'.

From midrange to luxury we can help you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us.
Fancy a fishing holiday with a difference? Lake Kariba is one of the largest expanses of fresh water in the world and is home to a diverse fish population. Hiring a houseboat is a great when it comes to fishing expeditions, you have a dry, comfortable base, a tender to venture away from the boat and fish right up by the steep shoreline of the lake.
