The adventure-filled stories about the mighty Zambezi River in Africa are legendary, and now you can be part of that legacy. Many intrepid travelers have dreamed of exploring this magnificent river, and with specially designed boats, you can now discover the best of the Zambezi with ease. These boats navigate both rapids and shallow waters as shallow as 20cm, allowing access to stunning parts of the river that were once unreachable.
Whether you're speeding over rapids or slowing down for a leisurely birding and river wildlife safari, each moment on the Zambezi is an unforgettable experience. Choose from our Early Morning, Lunch, or Sunset Safaris, where you'll head upstream in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, exploring Zambezi's many islands and channels.
Throughout the year, you’ll spot hippos and crocodiles, and during the winter months, there's the exciting possibility of watching elephants crossing the river to the islands. Take a break and stretch your legs with a refreshment stop on one of the Zambezi River islands, or enjoy a picnic provided on our Lunch Safari. Snacks are served on both the Early Morning and Sunset Safaris, adding to the enjoyment of your adventure.
