Zambia

For us, Zambia is the river. Three canoe safaris on the Lower Zambezi, with island camps and a gorge to paddle through.

The place

Getting to know Zambia

Our Zambia trips start in Chirundu and follow the Zambezi downstream by canoe, camping on islands and beaches with guides who read the river each morning.

Hippos and crocodiles share the channels, and the river’s banks are inside national parks with some of its highest game numbers. The finish is a road transfer to Lusaka.

We also plan other Zambia trips, including Victoria Falls and South Luangwa, on request. Ask us.
