south ZAMBIA OPERATORS - eagles rest

Eagles Rest is situated on the shores of Lake Kariba, Zambia, near the sleepy little town of Siavonga, only two and a half hours drive from Lusaka and only 8km from the spectacular Kariba Dam Wall. Set in 4 hectares of some of Africa's most beautiful countryside, the resort is nestled in a secluded wooded area on the shores of the Lake with beach frontage and magnificent views across the Lake to the Matusodona Mountains.

The activities on offer are sunset cruises and day cruises on the Lake, fishing, boating, and one day canoe safaris from the Dam Wall through magnificent Kariba gorge to Tamarind Camp, visits to the Dam Wall and the Power Station, Croc Farm visits, and much more.

Eagles Rest is also the home of the Houseboat Bateleur.

Bateleur is a 20 metre pontoon houseboat superbly appointed and sleeps up to 12 passengers plus 4 crew members. The lower deck consists of 3 cabins (sleeping 6 - one double en-suite and two twin bedded), two public toilets/showers, lounge, kitchen, and a fully operational Jacuzzi with sun deck. The upper deck consists of a spacious lounge and the Captain's bar. Day seats convert to comfortable beds at night which are fully covered by mosquito nets (sleeping an additional 6 passengers). The Houseboat normally tows 2 tender boats for both fishing and sight seeing.

A special feature of Eagles is the beach bar situated on the beach with magnificent views across the Lake, the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day. At full moon, views from the beach bar are incredible. Watch the sun set to the west and moments later watch the huge red moon rise over Kariba and during the next one hour spectacle, see the surface of the Lake turn from dark red to a shimmering silver glow.
