Enjoy three peaceful days canoeing the majestic Zambezi River. Start early before the heat of the day and take a gentle pace to make the most of wildlife viewing opportunities. Look out for elephants feeding on the river bank, basking crocodiles and the legendary African fish eagle. You’ll also pass by pods of hippo in deeper water. The experience is magical and nights will be spent wild camping in remote spots.
