Package Overview

This short canoeing safari is ideally suited to those wishing to get a feel of the area but don’t have the time to cover the long stretches of the river. There is also a short traditional village visit on the return transfer to interact with the locals in the area.

This canoeing trip is totally self-contained with all equipment and supplies carried in the canoes for the duration of the trip. Guides prepare meals while guests participate in erecting their tents, sorting out their bedding and helping with the general loading and unloading of their canoes.

    The choice Absolute Zambia Safaris has been the result of a selection I made among dozens of local tour operators whom I asked for a quotation initially for a package covering the entire stay (about 12 days) in Zambia and then limiting to some transfers and 3 days in South Luangwa National Park Robert was the winner in this selection that covered three aspects: price, quality of service and kindness. It was the perfect choice. Robert in this trip in Zambia has never left me alone providing a service of the highest quality.
