Ichobezi Houseboats

(Caprivi - Namibia)

General Description

At the eastern end of Namibia's Caprivi Strip, two houseboats cruise the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers. A few nights on one of these is a fantastic way to experience the birds, animals and scenery of this lush corner of Namibia. The Ichobezi Moli houseboat is 18 metres long and has four large twin cabins. Each cabin has a large sliding window that gives you a fantastic view of the changing river scenery as the houseboat glides by.
Part of the top deck has a lounge and bar area with comfortable seating and a shade cover. The other area is open to the sky and it is here that guests can enjoy delicious meals prepared by the houseboat's chef. There is also a small plunge pool on the top deck – the perfect place for a cooling dip whilst enjoying the scenery.

The Ichobezi Mukwae houseboat is newer than the Moli but built to almost the same specifications. Although similar to its sister houseboat, the Ichobezi Mukwae's front cabin has the added attraction of its own private balcony. The Mukwae also has an added sun deck above the main top deck that gives guests another option to experience this lush wetland.

Accommodation

The cabins have comfortable twin beds, storage space and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet and hand basin.

Dining and Food

Enjoy al fresco dining, delicious brunches and dinners are served on the deck, and a fully stocked bar is available.
