Zambezi Short 2 nights 3 day canoeing safaris: This short canoeing safari is similar to the Island Trail, but stopping short of the
main Mana Safaris area. This canoeing trip is well suited for youth groups and individuals on limited
time schedules. One gets to see much of the game and birdlife while stopping short of the Mana flood
plains.
Island canoe trail 3 nights and four days:
This three night four day, island-hopping canoeing safari runs through the middle Mana Pools flood
plain region of the Lower Zambezi River. This is well suited to most people wishing to get the feel of
the river and what it has to offer while being our most popular canoeing safari.
5 in 1 River Run canoeing 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. (Optional visit to a traditional fishing village)
This trip has the additional benefit of allowing the participant alternative game viewing option off the
river bringing in other species of wildlife one would not encounter during the day on the canoeing safaris.
Great Zambezi Canoeing Safari:
Our five night, six day safari is 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 Canoeing Safari:
Our long haul safari of eight nights/nine days; we canoe the entire 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.
