Built to the same design as many of Lake Kariba’s houseboats, Shayamanzi I (sleeps up to 16) and Shayamanzi II (sleeps up to 24) was the first of their kind in South Africa.

Each houseboat has a spa bath, permanently manned bar and enough comfortable sofas and deck chairs for group siestas.

Smaller tender boats are used for early-morning and late-afternoon fishing, where apart from being a mecca for feisty tiger fishermen, this is the perfect place for game enthusiasts, bird watchers and photographers to get a look at magnificent antelope, rhinos, crocodiles and an array of water birds from a whole new vantage point – the water.

Expect to dock in different parts of this incredibly diverse stretch of water and to raise your glasses to one of the most unforgettable sounds of Africa – the echoing call of the fish eagle – as you make some unforgettable memories during your time with us.

In addition to mid-week and weekend long sojourns on the peaceful waters of Lake Jozini, Shayamanzi also allows those who are passing through the rugged region to enjoy brunch, luncheon and sundowner cruisers.

Rates vary according to group size and season.
