Canoe Safari on the Zambezi | Paddle Past Elephants | Navigating Africa

Paddle the upper Zambezi or the legendary Lower Zambezi and Mana Pools channels on a guided canoe safari: silent, close, unforgettable.

A canoe is the quietest seat in Africa. At water level, with no engine, you become part of the river, drifting past bathing elephant, sunning crocodiles at a respectful distance and kingfishers strobing the banks.

Gentle morning paddles on the upper Zambezi suit first-timers and families; the multi-day canoe trails of the Lower Zambezi and Mana Pools are pilgrimage territory for adventurers, camping on islands under a sky full of stars.

All trips are led by licensed river guides who know every channel, and every hippo pod to steer around.
