Rivers are always exciting places to be on safari. Their life sustaining waters attract all wildlife, especially first thing in the morning and in the hours before sunset.
They also offer a unique vantage point, where by boat you can watch animals drinking, playing and swimming. Some of our favourite safari lodges are located on the banks of Africa’s great rivers and allow you to see wildlife from your bedroom or private viewing deck.
At Chiawa Lodge beside the Zambezi River elephants often wander through the lodge on their way to the water. The lodge has been there more than thirty years so it has blended into the landscape.
Your family may enjoy a tiger fishing competition or an afternoon canoe safari paddling gently past antelope and buffalo drinking at the water’s edge.
Next morning why not try breakfast puttering past hippo on the motorised pontoon. We can arrange other amazing waterborne safaris in the Okavango Delta, Tanzania, Zambia and Uganda.
