    Experience Africa up close! Float down the Zambezi River with hippos gazing at us as we paddle by, elephants frolicking at the shoreline, and colonies of red carmine bee-eaters taking flight from their riverbank nests. Zimbabwe is simply one of the best places in Africa to escape the vehicle view of the bush and explore on foot or by canoe. We take only six participants per trip in this action-packed adventure tracking big game in three spectacular national parks - Matusadona, Mana Pools, and Hwange - and on our three day canoe safari down the great Zambezi River. Along the way we stay in wonderful private tented camps and luxury lodges. Join us for one of the most active and authentic experiences of wild Africa possible today.
