These are highly recommended. The river has a strong enough current to take you easily down the river with little effort. The river guides will take you down remote channels between the islands where your opportunities to get close to game are very high. Hippos are always in sight, elephant, zebra, puku, impala, buffalo, kudu and baboons can be seen browsing on the banks from the laid back comfort of your canoe. Adventure Companies Safari Par Excellence also offer 'participatory' canoeing trips of any duration.
All gear is carried in the canoes and camps are erected on islands in the river along the way.
Everyone gets involved in setting up camp and cooking. These trips are obviously cheaper and a touch less comfortable, but the thrill of the wilderness is that much more intense . Guests are met at Kariba and are transferred to exclusive campsites on the banks of the Zambezi. Guests canoe their way down the river with their experienced and knowledgeable river guides, staying at a different camp site each night. 6 day and 4 day packages are offered.
