Afloat in Botswana - A houseboat is a novel form of transport and safari experience.
Houseboat safaris are a wonderful way to experience the wilderness of Africa. The boat makes a fantastic photographic platform allowing you spectacular scenery and wildlife shots. Whether you are viewing game from the decks, fishing or relaxing in the sun on the top deck, Houseboat safaris offer you a new way of exploring Botswana.
On a houseboat, you are on safari all day long.
All of the boats offer comfort and all facilities needed and are skippered by qualified and dedicated crew. All houseboats have comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets, a lounge, bar and a sundeck. Some have small plunge pools too. All houseboats have a tender boat to manoeuvre into the smaller channels and to get on shore. These tenders can also be used for sundowner cruises and fishing.
After an early morning activities of game viewing or fishing and at the hottest part of the day, a delicious meal will be served on deck and you will have time to sit back and enjoy the view and cool breeze while the boat is moving on to another spot and adventure.
Game viewing by boat is a remarkable experience - see huge herds of elephants come down to drink at the waters edge as well as other game such as buffalo, giraffe, leopard, lion, kudu, waterbuck, puku, lechwe, impala and baboons.
Mekoro trips and walks can also be arranged from the houseboat.
A three course dinner is served in the evening amidst the sounds of Africa and stunning Botswana sunsets.
