There were so many unforgettable moments on this adventure, but seeing the wildlife in such a natural way, without lots of people round them, was incredible. Camping wild and going off-grid felt like an amazing reset and the tents were very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend this trip more!
Zambezi River
Zambezi River Trips
The Zambezi is the fourth largest river in Africa, running 2,200mi (3,540km) through six countries. Although it is unique in that it is barely developed, on its journey from central Africa to the Indian Ocean, it supports millions of people and vast populations of wildlife. It serves as the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, thunders over Victoria Falls and flows through the narrow Batoka Gorge.
This is also one of the most exhilarating places in the world to try white-water rafting and, on more gentle stretches, a great place to get up close to animals on a canoe safari on one of our Zambezi River tours. Large pods of hippo vie with shy crocodiles along the banks and herds of elephant drink the water and browse the vegetation. Carmine bee-eaters nest in sandy patches of riverbank and Goliath heron fish in the shallows.

Caroline Bissell Zambezi Canoe SafariThis trip is suitable for all regardless of canoeing or camping experience. The proximity to the wildlife is far superior to any previous safari’s I have been on. The pace was relaxed, excellent comping equipment, great guide, good food and scenery/wildlife was amazing
Barry Holmes Zambezi Canoe SafariThis was a brilliant trip for seeing so much wildlife, and getting so close to it, particularly the elephants and hippopotami. Whilst we couldn’t believe how many elephants we saw, we also saw lesser numbers of lions, crocodiles, water buffalo and a miscellanea of birdlife. Insect life was also plentiful, colourful dragonflies by day and fireflies by night.
