Lady May Houseboat

Lady May is a high-end, monohull cruiser luxuriously appointed for executive-style houseboat holidays on Lake Kariba. Stretching 70 feet in length and 18 feet in beam, she feels both spacious and elegantly compact. Inside, you'd find interior pine‑panelled lounges and dining areas cooled by air conditioning, with furnishings aimed at corporate or refined guests seeking comfort under canvas.

Below deck are four fully air‑conditioned guest cabins: two double-bed staterooms, one twin cabin, and a twin bunk cabin, all with en-suite shower and toilet (though the bunk cabin shares a separate bathroom) . All rooms feature square‑plug power outlets, and the living space is fitted with amenities such as satellite television, DVD player, an iPod docking station, piped music to the upper deck, and a library of wildlife and bird‑identification books .

Above, on the expansive upper deck, there’s a splash pool surrounded by sun loungers and shade canopy, a glass‑front bar fridge, a drinks tray, and a partially covered al‑fresco lounge providing panoramic views across the lake . Here you can relax, enjoy sundowners, or stargaze after nightfall.

Lady May comes with two tender boats for shore excursions: an 18‑foot pontoon and a smaller dory or Bumi hull vessel. These are ideal for game‑viewing, fishing cruises, or leisurely lake transfers . The crew comprises captain, chef, steward, and deckhand, offering fully inclusive service that covers food, drinks, fuel, crew, linens, cleaning supplies and basic toiletries—there is no self‑catering option onboard .
