You can explore the expansive Lake Kariba and its abundant wildlife aboard the luxurious Matusadona Lake Cruiser, a fully equipped houseboat with a crew of four. Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Lake Kariba attracts a vast array of wildlife to its banks including lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, and cheetah. Plan a tailor-made itinerary with the crew manager and dock each day at your pick of tranquil and scenic locations.
The Matusadona accommodates up to six guests comfortably, making it ideal for intimate family and group holidays. Start the day in the fresh morning air with a lavish alfresco breakfast before setting off to your next destination. Cool off in the open-air Jacuzzi and enjoy the view as you cover great distances across captivating landscapes. Once moored, Kariba’s many islands and river tributaries can be explored on a speed boat, or try your hand at angling for bream and tiger fish. Set out on a pontoon to observe splashing elephants at the waterside, or witness the region’s fiery sunsets on a tranquil evening cruise.
