FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

young toddlers on a boat require constant observation. As long as you take proper precautions you and they can have a great houseboat vacation. Make sure they have a comfortable life vest and keep it on them at all times.

Have things for them to stay busy with during slower times so you don’t end up having to entertain them nonstop. Some boats provide netting around the deck which is also a help.

Is insurance included?

Hiring a small boat or jet ski?
Yes, these can be hired.

Health Matters
Kariba is a malaria area and bilharzia is prevalent in the lake. It is advisable to take the necessary prophylactics as prescribed by your doctor. Swimming in the lake is definitely not advisable as the lake is infested with crocodiles and Hippos. On no account drink water straight from the river or lake, fresh water is supplied on the boat.

We recommend that before it gets dark you make adequate preparation for the night in terms of mosquitos repellents and during the day you have adequate Sunscreen protection.
