Zambezi River

Adventure Holidays in the Zambezi River

The Zambezi River is Africa’s fourth largest river, running for a length of 2700km through six countries. Although it is unique in that it us barely developed, on its journey from central Africa to the Indian Ocean, it supports millions of people and vast populations of wildlife. It serves as the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, thundering over Victoria Falls and through the narrow Batoka Gorge. Here is one of the most exhilarating places in the world to try white water rafting and on its more gentle stretches, is a great place to get up close to animals on a canoe safari during a true wilderness adventure. Large pods of hippo vie with shy crocs along the banks and herds of elephant come to the water to drink and browse the vegetation. Carmine bee-eaters nest in sandy patches of riverbank and Goliath heron fish in the shallows. There are excellent chances of predator sightings as well as over five hundred species of birds
