WELCOME to Eagles Rest - the holiday destination of choice.

The Bateleur is a private Houseboat - day and overnight cruises can be arranged.

Take a trip on Lake Kariba aboard our houseboat the "Bateleur"

like the eagle that it takes its name from, the Bateleur is a "graceful bird"
and is the ultimate experience in houseboating.

Bateleur sleeps a maximum of 12 passengers and 2 crew members
there are 3 cabins on the lower deck (one en-suite) sleeping 6 passengers

day seats on the upper deck convert to comfortable beds at night
sleeping another 6 passengers
all beds are equipped with large walk-in type mosquito nets covering the whole bed

the upper deck consists of an outside seating area and the Captain's bar and lounge

relax and enjoy a sundowner at the Captain's bar

 experience the magnificent Kariba sunsets

suited for parties and larger groups

the boat has a fully equipped kitchen

all crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are provided

there is also an outside braai area

we offer self catering or a fully catered option

the crew will assist with preparation and cooking if required.

here captain Steve prepares breakfast

meals are served buffet style direct from the kitchen

clients enjoying a hearty English breakfast

the pool deck is equipped with a fully functional jacuzzi (bubbles not mandatory)

enjoy the jacuzzi and cool off from the mid-day sun
in the winter months the jacuzzu is heated

        for the younger crowd do some crazy stuff  like jumping from the top deck of the boat

or skiing and tubing

or go fishing from one of our tender boats

most species of fish are found in the Lake but the most popular sport is
the mighty Zambezi Tiger and the monster Vundu

despite the fine bones in Tiger, if prepared carefully it makes a tasty bar snack

unlike Zimbabwe, at many of our mooring spots, clients can disembark
and explore the many islands on the Lake

Houseboat charters can be any number of nights from 1 night to 10 nights.

Day cruises are also offered for larger groups of up to 50 passengers.
