River Safaris

The seasonal flooding of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, transforms the landscape into a lush oasis, drawing in wildlife from miles around offering some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. Guests can take to the waters on motorised boat safaris and mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions to enjoy your safari from a whole new perspective.

The mighty Zambezi River provides another opportunity for thrilling water-based experiences, with fishing and canoe excursions in the Lower Zambezi among some of the continent’s best river safaris. Downstream, the waters at Victoria Falls fluctuate significantly, allowing the opportunity for adrenaline-pumping white-water rafting and relaxing sundowner cruises; while upstream, Houseboats provide another fascinating way to experience the river system, spending 2 or 3 nights aboard a floating luxury hotel.
