Canoeing (4-8 days):
The Lower Zambezi Valley, drained by the mighty Zambezi River,
offers a wild, untouched environment. The most exhilarating way
to experience the Valley is on a canoeing safari. Your journey
commences above the towering gorges of Kariba and Mupata, ending
downstream at the great floodplain of Mana Pools, with its herds
of elephant and buffalo. Each canoe safari is accompanied by a
professional guide. |
