Overview

This safari is perfect for adventurous travellers, allowing close encounters with wildlife on one of the greatest rivers in Africa. This thrilling experience traverses the Mana Pools National Park, along the Zambezi River, canoeing in comfortable, stable Canadian canoes past more than a thousand hippo on the way! Each night is spent camping on the banks of the Zambezi, finishing 65km (40 miles) and many adventures downstream. Encounters with animals and birds, whether on canoe or on foot, are up close and awe-inspiring. The Trail, for reasonably fit guests, is led by an experienced guide and assisted by support vehicles and staff.
