Victoria Falls

Canoeing Above Victoria Falls

They may be self-paddle or you may be paddled by a guide. Canoe trips are typically available in half-day, full-day, sunset and overnight excursions. Be aware of hippos and crocodiles and do not approach either.
Canoe trips depart from both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides of the river. A variation on the theme is the “booze” canoe, which is a gentle canoe trip in which you sit and watch the scenery go by while being paddled to beautiful locations where – as the name implies – cocktails are offered. It’s a great way to bird- and game-watch.

Canoeing in the Lower Zambezi

A tour usually begins in the lower region of the Zambezi River near to the area known as Ruckomechi. Visitors are flown in or transferred to Ruckomechi where they are met by their friendly guide and taken through the safety briefing and told more about the excursion. As soon as everyone is relaxed and comfortable the paddling commences!

Visitors climb into their sturdy Canadian canoes and the adventure begins. Padding into the Mana Pools National Park the first days distance is usually short, intended to give canoeists the chance to get used to the canoes and padding and after a few kilometres visitors arrive at the first camp which has been set up in advance.

Enjoy a sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi river

A late afternoon boat cruise is a wonderful way to enjoy the tranquility of the upper Zambezi and see a spectacular African sunset. During your two-hour cruise you can expect to see elephants, hippos, crocodiles, vervet monkeys, baboons and a variety of birdlife.

Explore the historical town of Livingstone in Zambia

Livingstone is located 10 kilometres from the Zambian side of Victoria Falls Bridge and is the gateway to many of the attractions of Victoria Falls and Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park.

This historical town was moved from its original site at the Old Drift to Constitution Hill in 1905 due to malarial outbreaks. The new location was carefully planned with wide, tree-lined streets and buildings, high ceilings and mosquito-netted verandas.

Livingstone has preserved much of its colonial architecture, yet it also has a small-town African atmosphere. If you spend a morning strolling along the colonial streets, drinking a coffee at one of the pavement cafés and exploring the colourful local markets, you’ll get an interesting insight into this fascinating town and local life.
