Amazing experience

Dieter_S, Dec 2025

Exciting and amazing experience on the upper Zambezi. Very passionate and professional guides provide a different wildlife experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We are overjoyed that you had a fantastic time on the river with us Dieter. We certainly hope to see you back one day, possibly for an overnighter canoe safari.

Just do it

Helen_P, Aug 2025

I must admit I was apprehensive about this tour but hubby was keen so I went along. I am so glad I did! It was a wonderful day. Started with a drive through a national park seeing a few animals, followed by a delicious breakfast. Then onto the canoes, had a briefing re safety and paddling. Then we were off on the Zambezi River, beautiful scenery, saw crocs and hippos and lots of birds. At the end a delicious lunch. Absolutely fantastic experience, a different way to see the area.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Helen We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your day out with us. We would love to have you back some day. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Great experience

Anne_D, Jan 2025

Harder paddling than we were expecting as there was a headwind. Guides kept us safe. Enjoyed the peace and tranquillity.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your trip with us Anne. We hope to see you back one day.

Day canoe trip

Ian_J, Jul 2022

Very peaceful with great guides but the canoeing was only just over 7km and lasted 2hrs which was shorter than expected. Enjoyable with guides making us feel safe and pointing out interesting birds and trees as well as Hippos and Crocodiles.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Many thanks for the feedback Ian and we are happy you enjoyed your trip and the guides made you feel safe. With regards to the distances and time on the trips, it all depends on the river flow and these can vary considerably from time to time.
