ZIMBABWE

Flood plains, waterfalls, meandering streams and gushing rapids: The mighty Zambezi River has many faces. If a jeep safari has your knees aching from sitting all day, a canoe safari through Zimbabwe is the active alternative you’re looking for.

Spend a three days paddling down the stunning Zambezi, admiring the bush land and flood plains around you, with a new riverside camp set up for you each night, leaving you ready to paddle further into exciting new territory each day. There is nothing like the exhilaration of carefully manoeuvring between pods of hippos and lazy crocodiles in the natural sandbanks, islands and lagoons of the Mana pools – helped by your expert guide, of course.

And for a dose of white-knuckle adrenaline, rafting the rapids of the mighty Victoria Falls is rightfully known as the world’s greatest white water rafting adventure, and works well as the grand finale to any canoe adventure.
