Overnight Zambezi Canoeing Safari

If you are a camping enthusiast or are aspiring to be why not get away from the world for the night with an Overnight Canoe Safari. A day canoeing is followed by a night camping at a permanent camp site on the banks of the Zambezi. The camp site overlooks the National Park on the Zimbabwean bank, as the sun comes down plentiful game can often be seen drinking.

When canoeing on the Zambezi River Safpar uses state of the art two person inflatable canoes. These craft are incredibly stable when running small rapids yet are easy to manoeuvre and paddle.

Watch abundant game as you paddle past at an easy pace

The river above the Victoria Falls changes its nature continuously, from wide open expanses of water to narrow tree lined channels meandering between the myriad of rock and sand islands. This makes it an awesome Zambezi canoeing safari experience. Game is abundant, species that may be encountered include Hippo, Crocodile, Elephant, Waterbuck, the elusive Cape Clawless Otter and hundreds of bird species.

Camping is a treat for all outdoor enthusiasts. We like clients to get involved with building camp, helping to prepare food and collecting wood. All camping equipment is delivered to the camp site by vehicle. All meals are freshly prepared by the guides, local beers and local spirits are included. Feel free to bring your own bottle of your favourite tipple.

Safety first

With our Zambezi canoeing safaris, safety is our major concern. A full safety briefing is given before the safari commences and paddle training is given on dry land and then perfected on the river. The canoe guide is always accompanied by a trainee/paddler, a comprehensive first aid kit and communications equipment is always carried.
