Experiences in Caprivi (the Zambezi Region)

What to do in Caprivi (the Zambezi Region)

In this lush region of Namibia, you can choose to explore on day and night drives, walking safaris or, the piece de resistance, a boat ride down one of its many rivers. As you can imagine, abundant water sources attract crocodile, hippo and over 400 species of birdlife, as well as a constant stream of elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, antelope and big cats. There is also the chance to cast your line in the hopes of catching a tigerfish.

Boating safari

Let the water take you to far-off places

Messing about in boats is one of life’s great pleasures. Messing about on boats in Africa, however, must be the greatest pleasure of them all. Whether you’re bobbing up and down the Zambezi, sundowner in hand, or cruising past snorting hippo in the Rufiji River in Tanzania, boats offer a different perspective on your surroundings – those crocodiles certainly look a lot larger at eye-level. If you like your boats with a little less nature, then head to the coast where magnificent old dhows billow through the Zanzibar Archipelago and glittering catamarans jaunt around the Seychelles.
