Africa is blessed with many wonderful rivers, great lakes and tranquil lagoons which support abundant wildlife. Boats, canoes, and local dug are the usual ways to enjoy fantastic safari.

Boat safari offer the chance to explore the bush by river or lake, cruise offers a unique perspective of the bush and allows you to get up close to Big Game such a hippos, elephants, crocodiles as well as this safari is one of the best ways to see many waterbirds in their natural habitats .

A water safari also gives the opportunity for some fishing.

Boat safaris and houseboats are obviously limited to destinations where there is deep, permanent water – usually major rivers or lakes. Where this is possible, we view the option to get out on the water as real bonus. A boat cruise will often be more relaxing and offer a different perspective from normal game drives. Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and southern Tanzania are the countries most associated with boat safaris,

Canoeing is possible on a number of Africa’s great lakes and rivers. The best canoeing safaris are found on the Zambezi River (Zambia/Zimbabwe).
