Company Information

Gokariba.com is a well established tour operator based in Kariba, Zimbabwe. We specialise in all inclusive, fully catered and self catered houseboat charters on Lake Kariba. Including accommodation on the mainland or at one of our selected island lodges on the lake. Our services also extend to transferring passengers to and from Kariba as well as across the lake to your final destination and back. Last but not least we run a reputable houseboat and property management service for customers owning assets in Kariba but who live elsewhere. The houseboats in our portfolio range from comfortable yet budget friendly "bachelor party" style vessels, to affordable and upmarket family boats right through to luxurious cruisers.
