2 day canoe and camp - We had the most amazing time with Prince and his team on the upper Zambezi. From the onset communication was really good and Prince quickly replied to any questions I had. The canoeing was great and very different on both days. The guides were very knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. We chose to have an overnight camp, which ended up far exceeding our expectations. If you get the chance, do it! It is a wonderful way to experience the Zambezi.

Amazing Canoeing - This was an incredible experience. Our guides were amazing. We felt very well prepared for the journey we were going on as we were briefed about the whole tour before hand. The food was so good and the guides really made this experience special. They were all very knowledgeable about the land and we felt very safe the entire trip. Would highly recommend to everyone amd would definitely do it again.

Unforgettable unique safari experience! - Had the most AMAZING day canoeing the Zambezi with our fantastic guides. This was definitely one of my favourite activities I did while in Vic Falls and I would recommend anyone thinking of it to just go ahead and book - you won’t regret it! We saw wildlife before the canoeing even started during our drive through the national park, and ended with a beautiful sunset lunch next to a herd of elephants - what a “pinch me” moment! Thank you to Prince and the team for sharing their knowledge, making us feel safe and for being such good fun 😊 I would also recommend getting the photos taken by the amazing photographer - it was so nice to be in the moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves. We now have a virtual album of memories to last a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys - I’ll be back 😊

Fantastic day out on the Zambezi - A fantastic day out on the Zambezi and great knowledge shared of the wildlife along the way. We had so much fun canoeing in the rapids and getting close to lots of animals. Sunset food and drink as we watched a herd of elephants walk just a few metres away!
