Ruwesi Canoe Trails

Fancy a wilderness thrill of a lifetime? Paddling the Zambezi in a custom-built kayak, stopping to explore the floodplains on foot or on a game drive, and experiencing the rugged wilderness of Mana Pools National Park – that's pure adventure. No paddling skills are necessary, just be prepared for close-up wildlife encounters with huge numbers of elephant, a healthy predator population, and vast pods of hippo in the river. At the end of each day a fly camp awaits, with comfortable tents, ice-cold sundowners and a hearty fireside dinner beneath the stars. Tours run between April and November.
