Victoria Falls Canoeing

"These are the inflatable canoes, which are very stable and easy to handle"

"This is how you and your canoes are transported to the drop off point..up river"

"Excellent opportunities to get up close to game"

"Enjoy exploring all the channels with excellent birdlife"

No Previous Experience Needed......

The birdlife is phenomenal with rare beauties like the African Finfoot and others often seen.  Game is prolific on the Zimbabwean side so whether you are an avid bird watcher, wildlife fan or just want to experience the peace and tranquillity of this mighty river, I would highly recommend an “Above the Victoria Falls Canoeing Trip” it’s a great way to get to know this outstanding location.

Sections of the upper river do have a little bit of white water (nothing like the rapids below the falls). So there are different types of trips on offer. Make sure when booking you are clear on what you want.

Cameras and videos can be taken on the trip with the guides keeping them safe in a waterproof bag in the wetter sections.

The afternoon Wine route canoe trips are in Canadian canoes as it is all calm water. The half day, full day and multi day trips are in the very stable inflatable canoes (like mini rafts) they are good for any sections of white water but are also good on the calm stretches. Life jackets will be issued to every client.

Different trips offer self paddling or you can also be paddled by a qualified guide. Half day, full day, sunset and overnight excursions are all available. So make sure you get the right Victoria Falls canoeing experience you want.

" Extreme care is taken when approaching hippos"
