Canoe Safaris on the Upper Zambezi


















Looking for the best way to unwind after a hectic day? Then the canoe safaris offer this kind of rustic luxury. Experience the tranquillity of the upper Zambezi River above Victoria Falls on any of the half- or full-day canoe trails. 

The pace is gentle and allows time to take in the quiet and calm of the surroundings. There's a good chance to spot wildlife on the riverbanks. At least 50 common species of bird can be seen even in the quiet months.

The short trails run along a 15 to 18 km stretch between the Zambezi National Park in Zimbabwe and the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia.  There's no heavy paddling involved as the current gently assists the steady drift downstream through channels and alongside heavily wooded islands. The rapids are small and at their peak are only classed as grade two, one step up from calm and flat water.

Multi-day trails are available if you're keen on adventure. These overnight canoe trails include camping on one of the islands or within the Zambezi National Park.  Spending the night beneath the African stars is an experience you'll never forget!

Pick up on "all the facts" for both the short trails and the multi-day camping options. Explore a bit further for the wilder canoe safaris on the lower Zambezi....
