4 Day Lower Zambezi Canoe Safari Experience

After breakfast, your canoe guide will prepare you for the journey ahead. You will learn the flow of paddling, how to move silently with the current, and the safety essentials that ensure both comfort and confidence on the river.

The day unfolds as you begin your canoe safari, drifting downstream while your support crew travels alongside by boat. Morning tea and lunch are set up along quiet riverbanks, where you can stretch your legs and soak in the views of the water, forests, and passing wildlife.

By late afternoon, you will reach Buffalo Beans Island, where the campsite has already been arranged with tents, mattresses, wash stations, a bucket shower, and a drop toilet. Dinner is prepared over open flames, and the evening settles into stories, stargazing, and the peaceful sounds of the bush.

As the fire crackles in the early morning, breakfast is served before you continue your journey downstream. The river widens and bends, offering new views and new wildlife sightings around every corner. Your backup boat remains close, always ensuring comfort and ease.

Midday brings a meaningful stop at a local riverside village. Here, you will step into daily life along the Zambezi, visiting the school, small shops, and community spaces. It is a moment filled with authenticity, learning, and shared smiles.

After tea and a hearty lunch prepared by the support crew, you continue downstream toward your next campsite. Like the previous night, everything is waiting for you—simple, comfortable, and nestled within the wilderness.

Your final morning begins with one last breakfast in the open air. Then, you board a motorboat for a scenic ride back to Kiambi, letting the current carry you past wildlife, river islands, and sweeping views you now recognize with familiarity and affection.

Back at Kiambi, you will enjoy lunch before beginning the drive to Lusaka. The journey back allows time to reflect on the stillness of the water, the closeness of the wildlife, the warmth of the communities, and the deep peace that only the Zambezi can give.

Your safari concludes upon arrival in Lusaka, carrying memories that linger long after the river has slipped from view.
