Boat Safaris
Wildlife Viewing from the Water
Overview
Swap the dust of the track for the cool breeze of the river. A boat safari offers a unique perspective on wildlife. As you drift silently along the water, you can get incredibly close to pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and elephants coming to drink. The birdlife along the riverbanks is also spectacular, with kingfishers, herons, and fish eagles in abundance.
Highlights
What to Expect
Boat safaris can range from short 2-hour trips to full-day excursions. The boats are stable and comfortable, often with shade. It's a very relaxing way to see game, especially in the heat of the day.
