You can embark on exciting canoeing journeys down the mighty Zambezi River, paddling past elephants and hippos, or experience the thrill of navigating the Orange River with its striking desert landscape as your backdrop. If the sea is calling, South Africa’s rugged coastline offers exhilarating sea kayaking opportunities, as does the tranquil and turquoise waters of Mozambique and Zanzibar, where you can paddle along coral reefs and pristine beaches. Embark on an unforgettable adventure in the world-famous Okavango Delta with a traditional mokoro safari! Glide silently through the tranquil waterways, poled by an expert guide, as you immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the delta's rich wildlife and serene landscapes.
