Bachelors and Bachelorettes on water!

These days, because celebrating special occasions takes extra effort and numbers are reduced, everyone is looking for somewhere unique to make those special memories – and what better spot than the beautiful Lake Jozini, one of South Africa’s oldest wildlife havens.

Because, these days, it has become something of a tradition for those pre wedding parties to be quirky and special, we’ve got the perfect suggestion for you.

Why not celebrate those final days of singleton aboard one of our luxury houseboats, the Shayamanzi l and the Shayamanzi ll?

To eliminate the stresses of planning your party, deciding on menus, activities and even crazy games, we’ve created a team to do the hard work and let you and your guests simply sit back and enjoy the ride.

Chartering Shayamanzi is stress free and everything is planned for you – ensuring that the only headache that you might have is on the morning after the big celebration.

Up until now, many people believe that the houseboat experience happens in other countries. The good news is that Shayamanzi Houseboats are local and you don’t have to jet off anywhere or undergo any border crossings and Covid tests to enjoy world class comfort.

With your own designated captain and crew, you get the freedom to soak up the African skies, eat all you want, enjoy a range of exotic beverages and more. This is also the perfect place to take plenty of selfies and photographs that you can store away for laughs in the future.

We’ll help you to pick a theme to remember and then arrange fun accessories like t-shirts or swimming costumes/baggies/bikinis, sailor hats etc - you can even create outfits for your special party that say things like ‘friends of the bride” for the girls’ or ‘sailor pirate crew” for the guys.

The bride and her friends can start out sipping cocktails in the on-board Jacuzzi or sun tanning on board. If your party would like to explore a little further afield, we have tender boats on hand for a spot of game spotting.

Take in the beauty of the Lebombo Mountains, the savanna and the large number of game coming down to the water’s edge to have their drink for the day. Then it’s back to the boat for your sundowners.

You can dance the night away in the lounge or even play party games until sunrise The guys can enjoy a spot of tiger fishing, enjoy a braai aboard as well as enjoy the wild game watching from the tender boats. 

Remember to bring hats and sun screen.
