Malachite Houseboat

The Malachite is a beautifully upgraded, 60-foot double-deck pontoon houseboat that effortlessly combines modern convenience with classic Kariba charm. Purpose-built for intimate group getaways, it accommodates up to 16 guests, though most charters host around 12 for an even more spacious and relaxed experience. She is equipped with 6 double or twin-bed cabins that are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms.

The houseboat is fully fitted with a bar fridge, a kitchen fridge with deepfreeze, and 2 chest freezers, ensuring plenty of space for food and refreshments. Malachite is solar powered with a backup generator for added reliability, making her both comfortable and sustainable on the water.

With its stylish layout, friendly crew (1 captain, 1 chef, and 2 deckhands), and unbeatable views from every deck, Malachite is the ideal floating retreat for families or friends looking to unwind, explore, and reconnect. Two tender boats add to the adventure, whether you’re chasing tigerfish, watching elephants along the shoreline, or simply soaking up the sunset with a cold drink in hand.
