Genral Info

Shikra is a very upmarket houseboat which was actually christened after a bird of prey; the Goshawk. The boat can accommodate 20 guests, all in en-suite cabins that are fully air conditioned. The 10 cabins are laid out in twin cabin format. The boat has a generously proportioned lounge and dining area, offering panoramic views of the landscape beyond, coupled with stylish interiors. The large lounge, dining room and bar are also fully air-conditioned with wide windows.

The crew have their own cabins and ablutions.

Tender Boats

2 x tenders are supplied with the capacity to carry 20 pax at any given time.
Please Note: Tender Boats are for fishing and game drives, distance dependent on fuel available. The boats are strictly crew driven. If you would like to bring your own speedboat to be towed behind the houseboat, one of the houseboat tenders will be left behind, as towing 3 boats causes damage (please bring your own rope for towing and fuel.)
