Hello and welcome...
The Southern Belle is Southern Africa's most unique tourism product operating on Lake Kariba in Northern Zimbabwe. At 180 feet long (54 meters), with 5 decks and able to accomodate upto 44 passangers in a variety of spacious air-conditioned cabins, she is the largest vessel on the lake.

Whole ship charters for all types of group travel is our specialty, we offer a high quality and standard of accomodation, service and cuisine as well as the opportunity to experience the excitement of big game viewing, thrilling angling(for the renowned Kariba Tiger Fish), all set against the backdrop of the wild beauty and the scenic contrasts of Lake Kariba.

A Southern Belle cruise combines many of the ingredients required by the discerning tourist for an exciting and relaxong holiday. We look forward to welcoming you onboard for a "SOUTHERN BELLE EXPERIENCE".


The Southern Belle Experience
A cruise combines so many of the benefits and experiences that you would enjoy only partly or individually in other tourism products, with a crew of 33 providing an excellent standard of service, cuisine and accomodation and travelling to a new destination each day, it is more than a cruise, it truly is an EXPERIENCE!

Things to do
onship-The time spent on board during the day is really a 'relaxing interval' between the morning and afternoon off ship activities, while the evenings are an opportunity to sample good food, fine wine and enjoy good company, while recalling the days adventures.
offship-A game viewing cruise, walk or drive will bring you 'up, close and personal' with a wide variety of animals, reptiles and birds. A fishing expedition with our experienced and licensed coxswains can be the thrill of a lifetime!
