Lake Kariba Houseboat Cruises

A sail on Lake Kariba is often a soothing interlude during a fast-paced Zimbabwe safari tour. This is a chance to indulge in the stunning grandeur of this inland sea and its majestic animals.

But if you want to keep up the pace, there are morning and evening wildlife cruises along the various inlets of the lake shoreline, ending the day with drinks in hand to catch the spectacular Kariba sunset.

For the ardent fishermen/women, there is a fishing boat available at any time of the day. Optional excursions include either a two to three hour game walk or drive in the Matusadona with your guide. We finish the day by learning about the many celestial constellations with our qualified staff.
