An expeditionary styled canoe trip where everything is carried in the canoes in the manner of the first explorers. Floating leisurely down the Zambezi River, these canoe trails are semi-participatory and each trip will have 2 qualified canoe guides who will take care of all of the cooking, washing and other camp chores. Clients are free to help out as they wish. These canoe trips range from 2 nights to 10 nights and can therefore be tailored to the time constraints of a hectic modern lifestyle. Each canoe trail convers a different section of the Zambezi River, whereby offering a unique and special experience in terms of scenery and wildlife for the intrepid explorer.
Logistics
The expeditionary Explorer canoe safari options begin and end in Kariba (unless by other arrangement) and we recommend clients spend the night prior to trip departure, in Kariba town. We can assist with booking accomodation. Trips depart from our offices at approximately 08h30 and clients are collected and taken to our offices to organize for luggage and personal items to be locked away and kept until their return and then on to the shops to purchase any extras they might require, as well as drinks of their choice. These trips are expeditionary-styled. All equipment is carried on the canoes and the canoeist's camp on islands each evening.
Included in the cost of the Explorer safaris are return Kariba transfers to / from the safari; all camping and canoeing equipment; all meals; teas, coffees, cordials and wine with dinner and services of a fully qualified canoe guide. National Parks Fees and other drinks including mineral water are not included in any costs. Please check with out consultants for approximate prices for time of travel. On the last day of the safari, a vehicle meets the party and clients and equipment is transferred back to Kariba.
We cannot guarantee that clients will arrive back in time to catch flights the same day and therefore we recommend a night in a hotel in Kariba (organised through Africa Calling). Clients wishing to catch connecting flights must advise the guide and either have all luggage with them or organize the driver to bring down any extra luggage when he picks the clients up. The airport is on the way back to Kariba and there may not be enough time to return to hotels and then go back to the airport. Africa Calling will aslo gladly assist with transfers to necessary airports.
