Lake Kariba on the Zambezi River is the world’s largest man-made lake, 282 kms long and up to 40 kms wide. Surrounding the lake are private game reserves that allow for great gameviewing from a boat.
Hiring a houseboat on Lake Kariba for five days is a great experience, combining unique gameviewing with a leisure holiday like no other. Every night you anchor in a different place providing beautiful sunsets from your viewing deck. And facing the animals coming down to drink in the afternoons sheds a different light on gameviewing.
Your crew consists of a captain, cook and deckhand who see to your every need. A typical double-decker boat will have sleeping quarters, bar and kitchen on the lower deck, with the upper deck for dining, entertainment and gameviewing.
Accommodation is also available in the small town of Kariba.
