Zambia Wildlife Tours 2024/2025

“This is a great active safari that will get you close to nature and sleeping out under the stars.We saw lions, birdlife galore, paddled past hippos and were able to stop the canoes and get close to herds of elephant.The canoes are the perfect vehicle for the journey, yes you need to be relatively fit and have a bit of knowledge about a canoe ( they can provide advice or in uk go on a simple paddle start of 1 star canoe intro), but you get so close to animals and they were often relaxed. Also you have great fields of view across the water front.Yes the campsites are basic - pitch a tent on a sandy island but the food is great and plentiful, you don't need a shower you can dip in the safer shallows of the Zambezi, and you get to wake up to beautiful African sunrises.You do have early starts and early nights but what you get back is worth it.Advice is to have plenty of drybags and try and get a paddle suitable for your height. But anyone with a sense of adventure, a desire to see wildlife and reasonable fitness will enjoy this.”

“Have just returned from this amazing trip- my first visit to Africa and it was better than I hoped for. Loved looking up at the night sky through the tent mosquito netting. So many hippos, crocs and elephants. Although it was hot there was always a lovely breeze on the water”

“Based off this G Adventures tour, if you pick any of them you?re going to be in for a great time as it?s impossible to pick my favourite country between Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. If you get Francois and/or Eddie as your CEO?s you?re in for an absolutely fantastic time that will make you want to come back even quicker.”
