Overview

What truly sets this canoeing safari apart is the way it brings you into the heart of Africa’s wilderness not just to watch it, but to live it from the water itself. Unlike typical wildlife tours where animals are viewed from a vehicle or boat, this experience places you at river-level in a canoe, gliding silently through the Upper Zambezi’s channels above Victoria Falls. This peaceful mode of travel lets you encounter elephants drinking at the water’s edge, hippos surfacing nearby, crocodiles basking on banks, and an incredible array of birdlife all with a sense of intimacy and immersion that larger boats or safari jeeps simply can’t match.

Many travelers describe the experience as a “once-in-a-lifetime journey,” noting how the slow, quiet pace lets them absorb the rhythms of nature, watch wildlife in peaceful coexistence, and enjoy meals riverside moments often described as highlights of their entire Victoria Falls trip. It’s a genuine African safari experience via canoe.

Guests are picked up from their respective places of stay between 07:00am to 07:45. A short briefing will then be given to help guests understand what the trip entails. We then drive to the Zambezi National Park gate for park fees payment. After payment, we drive to the launch site through the Zambezi national park for about one and half hours, however, the time for the drive depends on what we encounter during our drive to the launch site. Animals seen on these trips usually include waterbuck, buffalos, hippo, elephants, crocodiles, zebras, giraffes, bush backs and cats though rarely seen but certainly in the area. Upon arrival at the launch site tea and coffee is served with light breakfast. Safety talk and demonstration on how to paddle an inflatable canoe will be given. Soon after the briefing the canoeing trip starts from the starting point going through some scenic channels and rapids until we break for lunch. After lunch we pack and drive back to town arriving around 13:30 to 14:00pm
