Houseboats

 

HOUSEBOAT HOLIDAYS

 

This the perfect getaway for people who like to be very close to nature and don’t need to have televisons and the like on tap. Houseboats offer a wonderfully relaxing holiday and are particularly good for family holidays, groups of friends or small corporate groups.

Houseboats come in all sizes, with 4 sleepers being about the smallest. Services and facilities vary from houseboat to houseboat and it is very much a case of "getting what you pay for".

Kariba is still the largest houseboating destination in Southern Africa and there is a wide choice of houseboats available for charter from both Kariba village and Binga. This is a game rich area and there are a wide selection of houseboats on offer (both catered and self-catering).
