The Malachite is a gorgeously refurbished 60‑ft double‑decked pontoon houseboat, chartered through Zambezi Drift, that elegantly blends modern comforts with safari spirit. Designed for groups of up to 16 guests—although most cruises host around 12 for maximum comfort—it’s the perfect vessel for small families or friends seeking adventure and relaxation intertwined.
Six air-conditioned ensuite cabins on the lower deck, offering double or twin bedding configurations and private bathrooms. For extra guests, the top deck features four mattress bunks under the stars—ideal for those who love waking to lake breezes and hippo wake-up calls. A guest toilet on board adds flexibility.
The top deck is a bright, inviting space with a handcrafted wooden bar (tap + ice machine), large dining table (seating 8–12), and lounging area—a perfect hub for sundowners. Enjoy the splash pool at the bow, where you can cool off mid‑cruise, watch water-level wildlife, or relax between activities.
