Canoeing on Zambezi

by Rusket - last update: Oct 10, 2005

Entering Zambia

Elge ready to go!
Entering Zambia was a lot quicker than entering Zimbabwe! At 08:10 the paperwork was done, and we were ready to move on to our Zambezi adventure. We should have visited Luangwa National Parks, too. But due to heavy rainfall another group had gotten stuck in the mud, and we were advised to omit it. After a short discussion the group decided to follow the advice.

Except from Zambezi, we only made a short stop in Lusaka to get supplies, and headed for Malawi.

Zambezi River

Who would believe that this is the same river we saw throwing itself over the edge at Victoria Falls and rushing through the gorge beneath?!

Closer to wildlife

We had already been quite close to wildlife on a couple of occasions, but this was something special. As we were gliding quietly along the river, we got really close to hurds of elephants, hippos and crocodiles.

 Great page! I didn't venture out on the Zambezi, preferring to relax in comfort instead at the Zambezi Sun :) Greetings from Germany, Brian

 Wow what an adventure !!! Although I love canoeing - I would never be brave enough to do it among hippos and crocs, not even with guides.... too much afriad of enter the mouth of a yawning hippo ;-)))

 I have heard that the Zambesi is not to be missed! Good thing I didn't since I can virtually get there via your pages! ;-]
