Caprivi Houseboat Safaris t/a Camp Turaco, on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River just outside Katima Mulilo, cools you down with a lush garden oasis after your travels through the heat of the day.
Waterberry, Marula, Jackalberry, Terminalia, Mahogany and Raintrees amongst it's tree population, provide shade for this paradise for guests and birds alike. The green garden welcomes you and soothes your soul.
The rustic ambience invites you to relax and feel at home and close to nature. From the deck Zambia can be viewed and sometimes a honking hippo or menacing crocodile floats by. Whistling otters are a really special sight and birders hearts will flutter at the paddling presence of an African Finfoot.

Caprivi Houseboat Safaris has 5 rustic chalets letting you feel close to nature with lots of fresh air and an open front bringing it in really close. An open bathroom lets you stare delightfully at a starry sky;
A Tented Room situated in the garden for a more budget conscious choice;
A Glamping camp for travellers who'd like to cater for themselves or join for meals at the dining area;
2 campsites for campers in a slightly wild setting.
