With panoramic views of Lake Kariba, the Sovereign Houseboat offers a spacious and unique safari experience. Sweeping vistas of uncharted waters, with a backdrop of silhouetted trees and breathtaking sunsets bestow the ambience of freedom – the lake and the wilderness solely yours. Exploring the lake’s waterways either aboard the Sovereign or upon the tender boats, you are able to access and encounter areas untouched, pioneers of your adventure in untamed Africa.
A safari upon water is truly an incomparable experience. Cruising parallel to islands inhabited by wildlife, coasting beside national park shores and floating beneath the African sky in its array of characters gifts a sense of being enveloped by the wild.
When onboard the Sovereign, you are surrounded by wilderness. With only the horizon as your limit, you embark on an adventure exclusively your own, sharing the sights and sounds of nature with those cruising beside you. Whether lazing by the pool or exploring the waterways and islands by tender boat, trying your hand at fishing or sipping on a cocktail, Lake Kariba captures your soul, painting it into the gold and orange sky at sunset.
Until it sets sail upon Kariba waters, the Sovereign Houseboat is moored at Masumu River Lodge, Binga, in anticipation of adventure upon Lake Kariba. Binga is reachable by road and light aircraft. Flying into Bulawayo, your drive to Binga will take 7 hours. Flying into Victoria Falls, your drive to Binga will take 5 hours, delivering you to the deck and cabins of the Sovereign.
The Sovereign Houseboat was designed with space and style in mind, ensuring options for relaxation throughout your stay, fringed in luxury. The lounge and 10 bedrooms are air conditioned, allowing for a moment of cool and quiet from the African heat. Panoramic views lure guests to the lounge area, as well as up a staircase leading to a daybed which boasts a bird’s eye view of the lake and its surrounds. A swimming pool calls for relaxation and reprieve, as well as offering the perfect spot for a gin and tonic, paired best with sunset.
