Private Tour
2 Night Sail with Elephants, Kariba & Matusadona National Park
Overview

Mobile ticket
You may have sailed with dolphins or even whales, but I bet you have never sailed right next to a swimming Elephant or Hippopotamus! The ultimate way to experience Kariba & Matusadona is from the water, you get an idea of the scale of the wilderness and all the animals come down to drink and graze the grassy shoreline. Kariba weather is balmy year-round, and the lake generates catabatic winds in the evenings which means very few mosquitos. There really is no downside, it's a wonder it's taken us so long to figure this out,,

Lake Kariba
Embark at Hall's Beach, 1177 Breezes Road, Under the water tower at the end of the track for your Multi-Night sailing adventure expedition on Lake Kariba. Sail up close to elephants and hippos, dine al fresco on pristine island beaches, and sleep below decks or under a million stars on the decks of your own private Safari Catamaran. Stable, agile 30" Safari Catamaran yachts and sail the open water. Cruise the Matusadona shoreline watching elephants, hippos, crocs, herds buffalo and all manner of wildlife come down to drink.

Dine under a million stars on remote, sandy islands surrounded by grazing elephants and hippos, fall asleep on board to the sounds of the African night. There are 4 below-deck berths but you will most likely prefer to sleep on the decks. Fully catered plus snacks, water, and non-alcoholic drinks (bring your own alcoholic drinks).
