There are few things more spectacular than the Mediterranean-like vista that is Lake Kariba. Sprawling to cover 5000 square kilometres, at the heart of southern Africa, Lake Kariba offers a remote and underutilized water wilderness hard to find anywhere on the continent. And, there is no better way to experience it, than to take a luxury cruise aboard the Lady Jacqueline.

3 Night Charter
DAY 1: The first day on the Lovely Lady Jacqueline commences with a cruise from Bumi Hills to the Ume River. A stunning, untouched wilderness, the Ume boasts one of the best game viewing areas on the lake as it is well serviced by the Bumi Hill Anti-Poaching Unit (BHAPU). Not only is there a one-of-a-kind game viewing experience but some of the best fishing one Kariba is all the way out here. Unequalled views and an Al Fresco Luncheon on the top deck on the water is the ultimate day on the world’s largest man-made reservoir.
DAY 2: We invite you to sit back and relax whilst soaking in the spectacular views, sounds and remote beauty of the Matusadona National Park, as we embark on the four-hour cruise to Changa (behind Spurwing and Fothergill Islands).Matusadona National Park is in Northern Zimbabwe and was formed in the late 1950’s.
Matusadona was proclaimed a non-hunting area on the 7th November 1958 before being declared a Game Reserve in 1963 and only in 1975 did Matusadona become a National Park. Its vast area encompasses a combination of pristine and rugged wilderness, magical mountains.
DAY 3: On the final day, we take a leisurely three-hour cruise to Palm Bay well-known for lion sightings. Should you wish to go for a game drive or a walk, Spurwing Island will be happy to oblige (additional costs apply). And sometimes, when the water is high enough and an island has formed, we can arrange a beach braai, fire crackling, sun setting... Another sought-after option to consider is a magical boat cruise to the Sanyati Gorge. *Kindly note that there is an additional park fee, should you wish to cruise up the Sanyati Gorge.
DAY 4: A leisurely cruise back to base, saying goodbye to the magical mountains of the Matusadona National Park.
ADD ON A NIGHT
DAY 4: An onward four-hour cruise to the Sanyati Gorge; 100m basalt high ridges plunging into the waters below and home to black eagles, klip springers and secret waterfalls tumbing into the lake.
