Dzimbabwe Houseboat, Lake Kariba
Dzimbabwe Freestate Houseboat is located on the beautiful Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. The boat can accommodate 12 guests and is the perfect place to lie back, soak up the African sun, and take in the views across Lake Kariba. The cabins are air-conditioned and also have fans, with en-suite bathrooms. The top deck of the boat is the perfect place to enjoy a barbecue, as it consists of a bar, Jacuzzi, barbecue stand and dining area. The boat comes with a crew of 3 comprising a cook, deckhand and the Captain. A 5m tender boat is available for fishing and game viewing, captained by a crew member. Lake Kariba is surrounded by indigenous trees such as Cluster Leaf, Bush Willow, Mopani, Acacia and many others. There is a wide variety of bird species to be seen in the area as well. A cruise on Dzimbabwe Freestate Houseboat provides a unique African safari experience.
Why we like it
Out-of-the-ordinary safari experience; Excellent facilities on deck; Fishing and game-viewing activities from the smaller boat
