Let the tip of your paddle skim the surface of the water, and watch as shards of light bounce off the waves like excited children.

Canoeing on the Zambezi brings you one step closer to the singing waters of the Zambezi as you rely on the ache in your arms to drive your exploration of the converging channels. Birds and animals spill from the National Park onto the banks of the Zambezi, and for the duration of the canoeing safari, you share a lifeline with them.

The smooth and solid bottom of the canoe sits between you and the tigerfish, bream, crocodile, and hippo as the stream sweeps you through a natural paradise. Canoeing on the Zambezi is a fun-filled activity for the whole family!
