The Zambezi Valley(Trip #56674)

Tour Overview

This trip is primarily designed for those wishing to encounter the wildlife and scenery of Southern Africa in as intimate and active a way as possible, without being restricted to vehicles. The mighty Zambezi is an excellent location for a canoe safari: camping out on secluded beaches, the days are spent relishing magnificent scenery and abundant game while passing the ever-present basking crocodiles and hippo pods. Off the water there is plenty of time for game walks and also a game drive on the final day.
