Hiring a houseboat on one of South Africa’s many waterways is the ideal way to get away from it all, kick back , relax and enjoy the splendour of your natural surroundings from the comfort of your own home.

Our slogan is “Captain of your own holiday” and that is exactly what it means.

Unwind, relax or enjoy great old-fashioned family time with your loved ones in an environment that is unhurried and unstructured while you pilot your own craft.

Lightleys Holiday Houseboats are South Africa’s leading houseboat company since we have pioneered houseboat holidays and with 33 years of experience under our belt we have expanded our operations to four more exciting destinations in Southern Africa. Each destination offers an uniquely different experience, be it the Vaal River with 55km’s of navigable water lined with restaurants , a casino and golf courses or Knysna’s beautiful and scenic tidal lagoon with secluded bays , interesting shopping venues and surrounding mountains and forests. Or there is Port Alfred with its long winding tidal river with a marina, game parks, quite backwaters and amazing fishing and beaches . And then there is Swaziland’s spectacular Magugu Dam with its sparkling clear water situated in between rising mountains and teaming with the largest bass in Southern Africa.

Come onboard … and we will make your holiday on a Lightleys Holiday Houseboat an experience you will cherish and remember forever.
