Houseboat Holidays Lake Kariba & Chobe | Float Through the Wild | Navigating Africa

Imagine a safari where the lodge moves with the wildlife. Houseboating on Lake Kariba or the Chobe River means waking to elephants on the shoreline, spending days fishing or game viewing from tender boats, and evenings on deck as the sun does its nightly theatre over the water.

Boats range from cosy family vessels to fully crewed luxury cruisers with private chefs; drift between game-rich bays, drop anchor where the evening looks best, and let the water set the pace.

It’s the most relaxing safari in Africa, and Kariba sunsets may be the best on the continent.
