Mobile ticket

Victoria Falls canoeing above the Falls on the upper Zambezi is the perfect activity for those who not only want to see the abundant bird and animal life but also want to experience the peace, tranquillity, and beauty of the Zambezi River. The river is a kilometer wide and in places a bit more. It has an indescribable beauty with crystal clear waters and a myriad of islands. The trip starts with pickup from your hotel or lodge at around 7 am and an early morning game drive through the Zambezi National Park. At the put-in point, a continental breakfast is served while your canoe guide gives you a safety briefing, instructions, and information on the condition of the river and what to expect.

Cameras and videos can be taken on the trip with the guides keeping them safe in a waterproof bag in the wetter sections.

On these canoe trips, guests paddle their own canoes/kayaks following their experienced canoe guide. You don't have to be a canoeing expert and a life-jacket will be provided.

What To Expect

Enjoy cruising down the bewitching Zambezi River in a canoe, spotting a variety of birds and wildlife while passing picturesque islands - this is what a canoeing safari on the Zambezi is all about. One of the must-do activities when on holiday in Zimbabwe is taking a canoe safari. It is said that the mighty Zambezi River gets in your blood and draws people back again and again. A canoe safari is a leisurely way to experience the river for those who do not want to take on the rapids during a white water rafting trip. These excursions allow visitors to see the gentler side of the river and enjoy fantastic game viewing. The Zambezi River is generally referred to in two sections as the Upper Zambezi and the Lower Zambezi, broken by the vast Victoria Falls and Lake Kariba. Visitors can choose to do a canoeing safari either above or below the Victoria Falls. Each experience has its own unique charms, as the vegetation and wildlife experience is different.
