2 NIGHT/3 DAY CANOE SAFARI:
Our shortest safari – similar to the Island Trail, stopping short of Mana Pools National Park

ISLAND TRAIL CANOE SAFARI:
Three night/four day, island-hopping canoe safari through the middle Mana Pools flood plain region of the Lower Zambezi River.

 

5 IN 1 RIVER RUN CANOE SAFARI:

A four night/five day, adventurous canoe safari through the flood plains of the middle Zambezi River encompassing game drives, both day and night, a walk and a visit to a traditional fishing village.

 

GREAT ZAMBEZI CANOE SAFARI:

A five night/six day safari geared towards the canoeing enthusiast looking for that element of added excitement. This section of the Zambezi River passes through the flood plains of the middle Zambezi and the confines of the remote Mupata Gorge, before ending at the confluence of the Luangwa River. On this section of the river one can explore the numerous subsidiary channels, which are prolific in bird and animal life.

 

ZAMBEZI EXPLORER SAFARI:

Our long haul safari eight nights/nine days; we canoe the length of the lower Zambezi River in Zambia - from just below the Kariba Gorge to Feira on the Mozambique border. This is the longest canoe safari we run – encompassing the entire length of the lower Zambezi River. Passing the fabled Mana Pools National Park on your right and then the Lower Zambezi National Park on the right! – the safari starts downstream from the Kariba Dam Wall, below the Kariba Gorge and on through the flood plains and channels of the lower Zambezi River.
