The Lower Zambezi National Park offers something no other safari destination can — the chance to paddle a canoe through herds of elephants drinking and bathing in the river, past pods of hippos, and alongside the watchful eyes of Nile crocodiles.
Multi-day canoe trails combine paddling with camping on islands and game drives. The perspective from water level is extraordinary — elephants tower above you, hippos surface metres away, and fish eagles provide the soundtrack.
