The Shikra
The Shikra houseboat was christened after a bird of prey; the Goshawk. Aboard this Lake Kariba cruise boat, 10 comfortable cabins await you; each with an en-suite shower and water closet. The vessel traversing the entire length of the lake has generously proportioned lounge and dining areas both with fantastic views of the land and Lake Kariba. A staircase leads to the top deck of the Shikra. From here our captain sails the Zambezi cruise boat. This area has breathtaking views as well as day beds to relax in the open African air.
You may prefer to escape the heat of the midday sun with a dip in the pool or to kick back and relax on the sun loungers, all the while surrounded by endless views of stunning African scenes.
