A Canoe Safari is the best way to appreciate the beauty, peace and wildlife of the Zambezi River. Guests will paddle slowly downstream in a canoe with some of the best wildlife guides in Africa, watch the pied kingfisher hover and dive, listen to the haunting call of the fish eagle and the grunts of the hippo, see elephants, buffalo, and other animals come down to drink, and explore the islands and waterways along the route. There are 5 ½ hour river safaris which begin in the morning and include tea, coffee, and soft drinks. A full day safari lasts 9 hours and includes a cold lunch with wine, soft drinks and beer.
