Popular Cruises:

Senkwe River - usual destination - Binga to Senkwe River is approx a 2 hour trip

Matusadona national park (extra fuel cost )
Binga to the Ume river in Matusadona is about a 9 hour trip, what we normally do is stop off for a night at Christmas Island area which is about 5 hours from Binga, and then leave early the next morning to get through the Sengwa basin before it gets too rough. It takes you about two hours to cross the basin but it is an interesting trip
