Canoeing Safari Voucher

Activity Description

Experience the Zambezi River in the most intimate way — from a canoe. The Canoeing Safari offers a unique opportunity to paddle along quiet channels, drift past islands, and get closer to the sights and sounds of the river. Accompanied by professional guides, you will have the chance to see elephants drinking on the banks, hippos wallowing in the shallows, crocodiles basking in the sun, and an incredible variety of birdlife. This adventure is perfect for travelers who want a peaceful, immersive, and eco-friendly way to explore the river.
