We strongly recommend that you read our guidelines on canoe safaris in conjunction with this price schedule 

Lower Zambezi Map

Your options on the lower Zambezi

  • Changes over the years: Commercial canoe safaris started in 1985, took off 4 years later, peaked in 1999 until political chaos in Zimbabwe upset things in 2000. 

  • These safaris have been at their best since 2004 with fewer visitors but the best guides with the same amazing wildlife and splendour of the valley!

  • This is what we have on offer this season.....

...in Zimbabwe

  • Whichever way you look at it, Zimbabwe still offers the best lower Zambezi canoe safaris because of simpler logistics and the direct access to Mana Pools

  • The "Explorer" canoe safaris: 7 standard full participation canoe safaris with qualified River Guides; all starting and ending in Kariba; covering the full stretch of the lower Zambezi to Kanyemba.  (up until a few years ago these were the "Shearwater canoe safaris") 

  • The "Zambezi Odyssey" safaris: this includes the Mana Shoreline canoe safari plus the best walking and canoeing combinations available.

...in Zambia

  • Excellent "full participation" trips or for short lodge based canoe trails. 

  • Safari Par Excellence: we still run the "Island Trail", the "Great Zambezi Trail" and the "5in1 River Run".  In addition to information below we recommend a visit to www.safpar.com 

  • Price note: National Parks charge per person rates of US$15 entry fee plus US$5 per night, payable in cash on entry.  These fees are not included in the safari rates and are subject to change without notice.
