Genral Info

One fold-out bed in the living area downstairs, lounge suite converting into sleeper couch and mattresses upstairs which make up the remaining beds for a full boat of 14. Children and singles often enjoy sleeping on the top deck in the breeze and with a view of the stars – there are six mattresses available in this case. Mosquito nets are provided for every bed. Clients are advised to seek advice as to how best to protect themselves against malaria which is prevalent in Kariba.

The boat has two showers, an inside shower with a gas heater and an external shower for cooling off during the day. There are two toilets. Tehilla runs a solar powered 12V lighting system which requires no “noisy” generators to spoil the tranquil sounds of Africa as the sun goes down. There are induction coolers in each cabin, inside the mosquito net to keep you cool all night as it is run on solar power.

The upper deck covers the entire area of the boat with an 8-seater table, two fixed daybeds, two movable loungers. The majority of the upper deck is covered, with an open portion and loose mattresses for the sun-tanners at the front!

Meals are served either in the dining area on the lower deck or the upper deck under a covered area.
