#1 ZIMBABWE

Canoe With Wildlife

Venture deep into the heart of Africa and embark on a safari like no other-glide down the Zambezi River by canoe. During this fully catered adventure, a typical day starts with a wake-up call from the birds followed by a riverside breakfast. Then drift across shimmering waters as elephants graze along the banks and fish eagles wheel overhead. When the afternoon sun beats down, pause at a secluded spot for a leisurely lunch and enjoy a siesta beneath ancient trees. Later, the canoes slice quietly through the golden light, carrying you towards your new wilderness camp. Accommodation spans from simple tented escapes to chic glamping setups, with journeys ranging from two to nine nights. If you're seeking more thrills, combine canoeing with walking safaris.
