Day Charters and overnight chartering
Swaziland’s Maguga Dam is a stunning Lightleys Holiday Houseboat destination
where you can be “Captain Of Your Own Holiday” while you take in the incredible
beauty and tranquillity of the setting and enjoy the many tourist attractions
which have developed in this Northern Highlands of Swaziland.
Located just south of Piggs Peak, the dam has a capacity of 332 million cubic
meters of water and a wall height of 115 meters, making it one of the highest in
Southern Africa. It is well known for its excellent fishing opportunities and
holds the national bass record currently set at 5,3kg!
Fed by the Komati River the dam is situated within the Komati Gorge which offers
it protection against the elements. As a result of the warm water flowing into
it ,there is a healthy water bird population and a variety of small game roaming
the banks which can be viewed from the comfort of your houseboat.
Swaziland is a pleasant three hour drive from Johannesburg in South Africa and
Maguga Dam is just 35 minutes from either Jeppies Reef or Oshoek Border Posts,
off the Piggs Peak road – just follow the Maguga Dam signage.
We have strategically placed eight mooring points in the dam, chosen
specifically for their good fishing and birding opportunities and their privacy.
Our houseboats can sleep up to four people and are superbly equipped for a
self-catering getaway, with everything you would need to prepare and enjoy your
own food on board, as well as linen. There is a barbeque grill on the deck.
