We travelled up to the Grouse House on Saturday 7 August, and honestly has the most amazing time, by far the best house we've stayed in, in Kariba, the staff were amazing, the house was spotless and very safe! We didn't have a single hiccup our whole stay! We are already planning our next stay there for the end of the year.

Our stay aboard The Lady May has been nothing short of amazing. We are so grateful to Morgan, George and Moses for an enjoyable, memorable time. A fantastic team that will certainly have a significant impact on our memories. Thank you.

WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. THE COOK IS GREAT AND RUSTLED UP SOME MEMORABLE FRESHLY CAUGHT BREAMS. THE CAPTAIN AND THE CLEANER WERE ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. OUR ONLY REGRET IS THAT WE DIDNT CATCH ENOUGH FISH. I THINK WE MOVED SPOTS
TOO OFTEN. OTHER THAN THAT I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND "LADY MAY" TO MY FRIENDS AND WILL
BOOK IT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. CHEERS AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
Thank you for your valued review and look forward to having you on LADY MAY again soon…….

We had a fantastic trip on the Peregrine 19th - 23rd April 2019, and have absolutely no complaints about anything. This boat was so comfortable and spacious and the crew, headed by Tawanda were amazing. Reg in the kitchen kept us very well fed. We would definitely love to go on this houseboat again and will recommend it to all.

We went for a retreat in August 2018 at Palmer Lodge in Kariba organised by Mbuso. I must say Rejoice hooked us up with a lovely holiday home. Self catering, spacious... It was stunning. The yard was well manicured with a fresh refreshing pool. The bedrooms lovely and cozy. The kitchen aah, felt like a chef. Enjoyed the game walks, the crocodile farms, the dam wall, fishing not forgetting the boat cruise. Gift the caretaker was ever so pleasant and helpful. I recommend this home, and if you need that extra service Rejoice is your girl.

PHILADELPHIA HOUSEBOAT - Dates: 30 Nov – 2 Dec
Thank you very much. The trip was amazing and wish we had booked for more days. The crew was wonderful, chef was awesome.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to catch a lot of fish. However, we will definitely book another trip soon.

We had a fantastic trip on African Queen. Really good fishing at Gordons Bay and very lucky to also see a large herd of elephants.
It was so wonderful being back in Kariba again and we made some special memories with special friends.
The crew were all great and an absolute pleasure.

We were very impressed with the Peregrine Houseboat and its amenities. The staff were all excellent. Pleasant and helpful doing their jobs well and unobtrusively. I found Darlington an excellent cook his meals were perfectly cooked and working out of a very decent and clean kitchen. He was keen to show off his skills offering to make puddings and muffins etc . We used the fire pit every night - sorely needed it as was pretty cold.
Thanks Nikkie highly recommended. BARBARA CONNYBEARE

Thank you so very much for arranging our stay on the Peregrine. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be looking to hire the same next time round.

We have stayed twice at Nyamoumba Lodge (booked through Wild Dog Tours) - once in a very comfortable en-suite self-cater chalet and once in the lovely shady campsite at the edge of the river. This place is made really special by its proximity to the awesome Kariba Gorge. A boat trip all the way up the Gorge and through the rapids just downstream of the Kariba Dam itself is a wonderful experience and not to be missed. There is good fishing in there too!
