This thrilling experience traverses the Mana Pools National Park, along the Zambezi River, canoeing in comfortable, stable Canadian canoes past more than a thousand hippo on the way! Each night is spent camping on the banks of the Zambezi, finishing 65km (40 miles) and many adventures downstream. Encounters with animals and birds, whether on canoe or on foot, are up close and awe-inspiring. The Trail, for reasonably fit guests, is led by an experienced guide and assisted by support vehicles and staff. **BRIEF ITINERARY:** Day 1:Arrival at Ruckomechi, safety briefing and short canoe excursion to first camp, Mana Pools National Park Day 2 & 3: Full days canoeing and walking through wilderness zone of Mana Pools Day 4: End canoeing and transfer to Chikwenya airstrip Please note: This Exploration operates between May and November. Highly recommended: Enjoy additional nights at Ruckomechi Camp before or after the safari (additional cost).
