The Canoeing Trail operates above the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on on the Zambezi River. This section of the river is quite unlike the better-known section below Lake Kariba. Here the Zambezi River is regarded as FREE FLOW as a dam does not control it, as such the water is subject to seasonal variation. Floods begin in January and normally peak in April / May. This changes the route as new channels open with the rise in water level. There are numerous islands, which are dissected by channels that may be several kilometres in length and vary in width from one to twenty metres. Rapids are small and at their peak are only classed as grade one, so easily manageable in the canoes we use.
The Canoe Trail passes along the banks of the Zambezi National Park, where clients have a good chance of viewing various species of animals, such as Elephants, Buffalo, Impala, Kudu, Hippo, Crocodile etc. The birdlife is prolific with at least 50 common species of bird that can be seen from your canoe.
