Boat Safari

WATER-BASED SAFARIS OFFER A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE TO TRADITIONAL GAME DRIVES.

They allow you to reach areas not accessible by land and naturally focus on seeking out and getting close to water dwelling species. In addition, water-based activities nearly always offer a very scenic experience and are often much more relaxing and ‘calm’ than drives or walks (though there can be exceptions!). Sunsets on the water are typically stunning, whilst bird watching is also especially good around water.

The principal ways to explore by water include house boats, speedboats or motorised pontoons, canoes, kayaks and mekoros (traditional dug out canoes where you a ‘poled’ through shallow water).

It is also not at all uncommon to have high quality sightings of terrestrial animals  (particularly elephants and buffalo) as they come to drink, especially as the dry season progresses and they become increasingly dependent on permanent sources of water.
