Overview

Paddle the upper Zambezi in a two-person Canadian canoe with a professional river guide. This half-day trip takes you through calm channels above the Falls, weaving between islands where hippos rest and elephants wade. Crocodiles bask on the banks, fish eagles circle overhead. No experience necessary — your guide handles the navigation while you absorb one of the most beautiful river landscapes in Africa. A morning or afternoon option is available.

The day

How the day runs.

Paddle the Mighty Zambezi

Two-person inflatable canoes put you at eye level with the wildlife — hippos ahead, crocodiles on the banks, and African fish eagles calling from the trees above. Your guide leads the flotilla through channels and around islands in the upper Zambezi, with a riverside refreshment stop halfway. Gentle enough for beginners, wild enough to get the heart racing.
