The Lady Jacqueline

There are few things more spectacular than the Mediterranean-like vista that is Lake Kariba. Sprawling to cover 5000 square kilometres, at the heart of southern Africa, Lake Kariba offers a remote and underutilised water wilderness hard to find anywhere on the continent. And, there is no better way to experience it, than to take a luxury cruise aboard the Lady Jacqueline. 
Elegantly appointed, the Lady Jacqueline is a 65' steel mono-hull, boasting luxurious accommodation consisting of two air-conditioned stateroom cabins complete with bathroom-en-suite, with two additional bunk rooms amidships (sleeping four and two people). The middle deck houses a spacious, air-conditioned saloon equipped with a music system, TV and video (affording the comforts of home for those requiring these facilities).
The upper deck offers an element of privacy ideal on a cruiser of this type, a place where guests are alone and free to bask in the sun, or sip ice cold drinks from the bar while the crew pamper your every need. A small splash pool is incorporated into the front deck, negating the need for bathers to brave the lake waters, especially when moored. 
Powered by twin in-board diesels, Lady J is able to undertake  long-distance cruises. Main silent-run and back-up generators supply constant 220v power when required, and with a nine day cruising range (up to a maximum of five hours per day), she is capable of cruising the length of the lake, although for logistical reasons normally stays within the bounds of the western basin. 
Evenings are spent moored at secure locations along the Matusadona National Park shoreline in the heart of Africa’s wilderness. Unlike land-based resorts, guests are able to squeeze every minute out of the day, sipping sundowners or fishing from the tender boats as the sun dips to the western horizon.
