Shamwari Houseboat is a floating lodge, sleeping a maximum of 8 people. An incredible experience which allows guests to travel from Katima Mulilo 55 kilometres downstream to the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.

The Houseboat is based on the Upper Zambezi River near Mwandi (on the Namibian side). This part of the Zambezi is well known for its fantastic tiger fishing opportunities, as well as Nembwe and other predatory bream species.

The Houseboat sleeps eight (8) people comfortably with two people in each of the four rooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. Each room is adorned with beautifully large sliding windows which open out onto the river.

There is a large dining area which makes up the main area of the Houseboat. Of of the dining area is a lounge, braai deck and jacuzzi. We also have a laundry service available, including an unlimited supply of ice for our guests.

Bookings are confirmed on a sole-use basis, with a minimum requirement of four (4) guests, and a maximum of 8 guests. Included in your booking are meals, which are prepared in a deliciously wholesome style to fill your appetite after a long day’s fishing or relaxing on the deck.

There is no credit card facility on the Houseboat, therefore we kindly ask for payments for any extras to be made in cash or eft (either ZAR or $NAM). We also include free Wi-Fi on the Houseboat, as well as good cell phone reception via roaming.
