Lake Kariba Houseboat Safari
Cruise Africa's largest man-made lake — sunsets, fishing & wildlife from the water
About This Tour
Lake Kariba, Africa's largest man-made lake, stretches 220km along the Zambia-Zimbabwe border. Its flooded shoreline creates a hauntingly beautiful landscape of drowned trees rising from the water, with some of the most spectacular sunsets in Africa.
Your houseboat safari combines relaxation and wildlife. From the deck, watch elephants swimming between islands, hippo pods surfacing nearby, and fish eagles diving for bream. Tiger fishing is world-class here — Kariba is a bucket-list destination for anglers. Optional game drives in Matusadona National Park add Big Five encounters to your water-based safari.
