House Boats - Unique Holiday Experience

House boats are specifically designed aquatic homes for visitors who wish for an interesting and unique holiday experience. Originating in Asia, these boats soon became popular world-wide. You can experience the pleasure of house boating right in South Africa’s West Coast National Park.
Situated in the West Coast National Park at Kraalbaai, one hundred km north of Cape Town, this idyllic safe calm anchorage affords visitors a unique, unforgettable experience. Fishing, swimming, skiing, tubing, walking, hiking, bird-watching, beach fun or simply relax on board.

Alternatively, why not relax on Lake Kariba. Shayamanzi house boat in Malawi is an 85-foot (25 meter) by 27-foot (8 meter), double pontoon houseboat launched by Dr. Narend Singh (Kwa-Zulu Natal Minister of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs) on the 18th October 2002. It was built on the banks of the Pongola River.

Cruising in style at 5 knots, Shayamanzi passengers enjoy different anchorages each evening. The boat is fully serviced with a world-class crew of 4, who will ensure you delicious meals, a safe cruise, great fishing, game viewing and bird watching of more than 300 species.

Shayamanzi is registered by SAMSA (South African Marine Authority) to carry 100 passengers and thus ideal for group day cruises or weddings.
