Canoe Safaris

Canoe safaris are done on the Upper Zambezi. This is the section of the Zambezi river upstream of the Victoria Falls. This part of the river offers great wildlife viewing with the excitement of running small Grade 2 rapids.
The upper Zambezi River is a beautiful place for canoeing, with stunning vegetation such as ebonies, water berries, palms, and a variety of acacia and albizzia. The canoe trails passes through national parks, and the pristine bus where there is the possibility of seeing animals such as Hippos, crocodile, elephants, Giraffe, and numerous birdlife.

A selection of three trips are on offer. There is a half day, full day, and overnight trips. On the overnight trips, the evenings are spent in tents by the riverside and a delicious meal and cool drinks are enjoyed under the beautiful African skies.

Camping on the overnight Canoe safari is a real treat for outdoor enthusiast. We like our guests to get involved with building camp, helping to prepare food, and collecting wood. All camping equipment is delivered to the camp site by vehicle. The guides freshly prepare all meals. Feel free to bring your own bottle of your favorite tipple.
