Tour starts and ends in Cape Town.
(Other departure points can be considered).
This unique houseboat is the first of its kind on South Africa’s largest dam, offering a central location that is perfect for family gatherings, team-building events and small weddings or simply a breakaway with good friends.
We fly into Bloemfontein where we meet our shuttle company who will transport us to Gariep Dam.
Docked at the water’s edge, our beautiful home away from home is decked out with all the luxuries and comforts you could wish for. Guests on board the Karoo Queen are treated to true Karoo hospitality, with delicious local cuisine and plenty of opportunities to explore the natural wonder of this paradise. Whether you’re fishing, bird watching or game viewing (Eland; Gemsbok; Kudu; Bush Pig; rhebok ; Buffalo; Rooi Hartbees) or just soaking in the serenity of the Gariep Dam, you’re sure to leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Clear skies at night for star gazing; sailing on their beautiful sailing boat or enjoying a sunset champagne cruise! / Kayaking (if you dare) at an extra cost!
We have provisionally booked the Karoo Queen House boat for our exclusive use. It has: 6 en-suite cabins and a crew comprising: the captain, a chef and deckhands.
Due to the low number of cabins (6) and our need to have exclusive use of the Houseboat, the total cost has to be spread across the number of guests, so we can’t have a majority of single occupied cabins.
