Canoeing Safaris
Quiet waters, wild places
Canoeing in Africa and kayaking Africa is a must for those who enjoy the freedom and tranquility of exploring waters on their own or with a guide. Some places offer it as a sheer water sport activity like Mauritius holidays, Seychelles Island hops, Mozambique and Lake Malawi exploring.
Other countries have exceptional canoeing safaris that allow you to get out amid unspoilt wilderness with some of the finest game and birdlife seen from the comfort of your canoe. By day, paddle along rivers and waterways and by night camp on the riverbanks sleeping under canvas to the calls of the wild.
The impressive component to canoeing in Africa is the tranquility – no engines, just the sounds of the wild and water as your paddle blades dip and drag through to propel you forward. You’ll get close to hippo, elephant and many other species that don’t react to canoes.A canoeing safari in Africa is the ultimate adventure. It’s a relatively slow pace, very soothing rhythm that will soon have you mesmerised and totally in tune with nature and its daily ebbs and flows.
Options are impressive, with small group canoeing safaris by day and mobile camping by night, private canoeing safaris or half and full day canoeing trips with more luxury safari accommodation by night.
“I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.”
– David Attenborough
