Rowing the Lower Zambezi 10.06.16 We canoed down the Lower Zambezi river a party of 8 with two guides Cuthbert & Ahmed - what a fantastic experience watching Hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffalo, to name but a few of the animals we were able to see. Both Cuthbert & Ahmed had so much knowledge and experience and could answer all our questions about the animals and the area and knew how to keep us safe.
A stress-free way to spend 7 days! The pace is gentle (although if windy, expect to work harder), but the rewards of watching wildlife in their natural settings are well worth any tired muscles at the end of the day. There's plenty of time to relax too (who knew midday naps could be so much fun!).
An amazing camping and canoeing trip This trip was a truly wonderful experience, canoeing on the Zambezi and camping out under the Milky Way on sandy islands in the middle of the river. We saw very few people and it almost seemed like we had the mighty river to ourselves - only sharing it with hippos, crocodiles, elephants and birds. Paddling downstream with the current the route varied between wide stretches of river and between reed beds on narrower channels, which enabled us to get close to the wildlife. A great group, great guides and a fantastic trip.
