The Lower Zambezi by canoe

Zambezi canoe safaris on the Lower Zambezi

You paddle the Lower Zambezi for 4 to 6 days, sleeping in island wild camps and a riverside fly camp, with village visits, game walks and a night drive along the way.

The guides prepare the meals while you help with the tents, the bedding and loading the canoes. Each trail page has a kit list, so you know what to pack before you decide.

The trails meet at Zambezi Breezes Lodge in Chirundu and end with a road transfer to Lusaka, so plan flights for the day after take-out. The six day trail also runs Mupata Gorge. The dry seasons, June to September and December to February, often bring lower river levels and cooler mornings for paddling.
