Tehillah
Facilities
Rooms
There are four identical double cabins, which have double cupboards and a dressing table. Two fold-out beds in the living area downstairs and mattresses upstairs make up the remaining beds for a full boat of 14. Children and singles often enjoy sleeping on the top deck in the breeze and with a view of the stars - there are six mattresses available in this case. Mosquito nets are provided for every bed.
Clients are advised to seek advice as to how best protect themselves against malaria which is prevalent in Kariba. We have a fully equipped kitchen and separate quarters for the crew.
Bathrooms
The boat has one medium sized bathroom comprised of a gas heated shower, basin and toilet. There is a separate second toilet as well as an outdoor shower for cooling off during the day.
Electricity
We run a twelve volt lighting system which requires no “noisy” generators to spoil the tranquill sounds of Africa as the sun goes down. A small generator is available to provide charging for all electronic devices.
Tehillah is a 15 metre long pontoon boat. Designed for open spacious coolness it has lower deck “walls” that can be opened out extending the lower deck by 1.8 metres in width to make the boat a total of 8 metres wide. These extended floors have fold up railings making the boat very safe for adults and children.
The lower deck is fully carpeted with four double cabins, the bathroom and two toilets, a spacious living/eating area and the kitchen. The upper deck covers the entire area of the boat with an 8-seater table, two fixed daybeds, two movable loungers, and a bar. The majority of the upper deck is covered, with an open portion and loose mattresses for the sun-tanners at the front!
Tender boats
There are two tender boats available throughout your stay for short fishing trips in and around the bays. You will need to purchase the petrol for these boats when leaving the harbour, we recommend 10-15 litres per day.
