The Tamarind Canoe Safari
Duration: 4 Days
Priced from: USD 550
This 4 day semi-participation canoe safari is the ideal way to experience all that Zimbabwe's legendary Mana Pools has to offer. A semi-participation safari, which means you will be required to help set up your own tent each evening, as the camps are not pre built.
Canoeing is a wonderful way to take in the tranquillity of the bush, gliding past herds of animals often unaware or uncaring of our presence. Canoeing is done in 18 ft Canadian style canoes, fitted with comfortable seats and cushions. Standard canoe trails are three nights, four days.
This is a semi-participation safari, which means you will be required to help set up your own tent each evening, as the camps are not pre built.

Day 1: Mana Pools
You will be collected from Kariba in the morning and transferred in open 4x4 vehicles to Chirundu. Following a safety talk and demonstration of how to paddle, you will board your canoes and we take packed lunches on the river. After some tranquil paddling, camp will be set up on an island named Kakomarara. [LD]
