A highly qualified canoe guide will take you exploring the river banks on an effortless drift on the water. Despite what you might think no experience or particular strength is required as the flow of the river carries the canoes along and gives you a real chance to relax and listen to the sounds of the river and the bush all around you. Canoe trips can either be a one hour prelude to a game drive or a full day trip, stopping for a picnic lunch half way through.
