HOUSEBOAT
SAFARIS
Why
a Houseboat Safari?
Houseboat
Safaris are a fantastic way to experience the wilderness
and wildlife of Africa. If you book a
'Safari
Guide'
with your
houseboat you will be able to tie-up on the shores and venture on foot
into the bush of the
Matusadona National
Park.
Houseboats on Lake
Kariba also make the
most fantastic photographic platforms that allow for some stunning scenery
shots and views of the wildlife you would not be able to get on land.
Have
a good look around the site and don't hesitate to contact
us with any questions. We have provided some helpful information
on how to choose
the right houseboat below and if the particular
boat that you are looking for doesn't appear
on our site, don't hesitate to contact us and

FISHING
ON LAKE KARIBA
Fishermen!
Are you looking for
a challenge?
|
|
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 to fish right up by the steep shoreline of the lake. |

CHOOSING
A HOUSEBOAT
Getting it right will
make all the difference
Choosing the right houseboat can be quite a mission in some cases, we have
tried here to make this as easy as possible for you so that you can
get the best boat that suits YOUR needs. You need to consider a
number of things when making a choice as we have over 30 boats on
offer!
We only concentrate on houseboats that WE
know and have checked-out ourselves.
We also only use boats owners that we have
confidence in and who we trust to supply excellent value for money. They
may NOT be the cheapest but they are hassle free and
more importantly, very reliable.
We are constantly looking for new houseboats to add to this website,
but checking-out the owners and the boats takes
time. If you are looking for a particular houseboat,
but it is not yet displayed on our website, get in
touch and let us know. We will do our best to help
you.
Some questions you need to ask
yourself are:
-
What Standard of boat do I Want?
Each boat on the website is rated by a star system to help you decide.
2 stars means basic quality and 5 stars means luxury conditions.
-
How many people will be on the boat and how many cabins are there?
Consider the number in your party and use the Houseboat
Index guide to find a houseboat with sufficient number of cabins
or sleeping space.
- What type and quality of ablutions does the boat have?
As
above, use the Houseboat
Index guide to check which boats will
satisfy your needs.
-
What crew does the boat have?
We
would not knowingly provide you with a houseboat
that is under-manned, but at the same time, if
you have a large party you may want to look for
a boat with more crew.
- What quality and quantity are the tender boats?
This
may be particularly important to you, for
example: If you are part of a fishing party,
where the quality and size of the tender boats
may make a difference to the fish that you are
planning to catch.
- How old is the boat?
All
of the boats we display are checked for safety,
but the older the vessel the older the decor may
be aboard. If the quality of the fixtures and
fittings is important to you, then perhaps a
newer boats would suite you better.
- Does it have a swimming cage or plunge pool?
Most
of the houseboats we display either have a
plunge pool on deck or a purpose built swimming
cage at the stern. Some may even have a jacuzzi.
You should consider the number in your party as
apposed to the type of holiday you want and at
what time of the season you are taking your
trip.
