Upper Zambezi Canoeing Safari Half-Day Guided Canoe Experience

Victoria Falls

Activity Description

Experience the beauty of the Zambezi River from water level on a guided Upper Zambezi Canoeing Safari.

This relaxed yet adventurous activity takes place on the calm waters above Victoria Falls, far from the dramatic rapids below. Accompanied by a professional river guide, guests paddle along peaceful channels and riverbanks where wildlife is often seen drinking and grazing.

Elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, and a wide variety of birdlife are frequently spotted along the river’s edge. The experience offers a unique and quiet way to observe nature without engine noise.

The canoe safari includes safety briefing and instruction, making it suitable for beginners. No prior paddling experience is required.

This activity is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and travellers seeking a more intimate wilderness experience.
