Probably the best way to appreciate the beauty, peace and wildlife of the Zambezi River above the Falls is to canoe on the mighty Zambezi through narrow channels and drift down past stretches of one of Africa’s most enchanted rivers. Paddle past crossing elephants and hippo pools and spot abundant birdlife and game as you drift past The Zambezi Game Park and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. There is time to stop for something to eat and drink and listen to tales of Livingstone’s journey to the Falls.
