Victoria Falls Canoe Trails

The canoe trails operate above Victoria Falls and are the perfect activity for those who want to experience the tranquility of the Zambezi River as they paddle downstream with the current in inflatable two-man canoes.

The trails begin approximately 25km upstream from the the Victoria Falls and during the day about 18km is spent canoeing with a stop at an island for lunch.

At the end of the day, the trip reaches the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park boundary where clients are met by vehicles for a drive through the National park.

In the park, clients have a good opportunity for spotting the endangered white rhino. The safari ends at the Zambezi Waterfront.

Overnight canoe safaris camp on an island. Sundowner drinks are enjoyed before dinner and a night to remember is experienced beneath the African stars. The following morning clients have the option of paddling approximately two hours downstream to the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park for a take-out. Alternatively the safari can end at Thorntree River Lodge which entails an hour's paddle.
