Canoe safari on the Zambezi River, Zimbabwe
An amazing 3-day canoe safari down the Zambezi river from Chirundu to Mana Pools in Zimbabwe with Natureways May 2008. An adventure full of natural beauty, amazing wildlife and surprises - we were knocked out of our canoe by hippos! Luckily no-one was hurt and it turned out to be an incredible experience.

In this latest episode of The Journey, in association with Zigzag (South Africa’s core surfing magazine), a team of intrepid South African surfers go on an epic overland adventure to Zambia, a landlocked country thousands of kilometres away from the nearest ocean, to surf a rare and powerful standing wave on the mighty Zambezi River. This is a tale of extreme adventure...
With surfboards strapped to the roof of a first-generation Toyota Fortuner, the crew including talented surfers, Koby Oberholzer and ex-World Championship Tour campaigner, Royden Bryson, set off from Durban on an unorthodox surf trip that would take them across South Africa, Botswana and finally, Zambia, covering well over 6 000 km’s on this journey...
After countless hours of driving, the crew finally reached the Zambezi River, which was crossed on an industrial barge ferry and made their way to Livingstone where the team stood in awe of the magnificent Victoria Falls.
The Zambezi River is wild and home to large crocodiles and hippos, not a place for surfers to be dipping their toes... The elusive standing wave on the Zambezi River is a rare phenomenon that hardly ever breaks, but when it does, it’s raw, powerful and laced with danger.
Armed with life vests, helmets and Nyami-Nyamis for protection in the gorge and on the river, Koby and Royden took a leap of faith and scored the wave of a lifetime.

River Canoe and Safari in Livingstone, Zambia
Day 197 of It's my Life 365 and I'm still in Livingstone, Zambia. I've started to get really comfortable in Livingstone and it's actually a little bit hard to leave these days. I think I probably have a week left here before I really have to move on south and get myself to Cape Town.
On this episode, I start off the day with a river canoe trip down the Zambezi River which was absolutely phenomenal. It was relaxed and a great way to spend the morning. In the afternoon, I went on a bit of a safari in one of the small national parks just outside of Livingstone. In the evening, it was another booze cruise, and some late night partying in Livingstone. This town is amazing, and I'm going to have a hard time leaving it.

Experience the African safari i went on in Zambia, where i did a canoe safari up the Zambezi River.
It was my 30th birthday on the 15th July and i wanted to do something special for it, so i decided to go on my first solo adventure and always wanted to do an African safari so i signed up with Exodus Travels and go to Zambia to canoe the Zambezi River! We canoed the mighty Zambezi River, negotiated our way round lots of pods of hippos, carefully passed massive crocodiles, watched herds of elephants grazing, drinking and playing and wild camped on islands along our way.

UNICEF: Fighting Malaria along the Zambezi River
ZAMBEZI RIVER, Zambia, 24 April 2008 -- Patricia Mobuku's 10 children are lucky to be alive. Living beside the Zambezi River, the children have always been plagued by malaria. Fortunately for them, their village is just a short canoe trip across the water from the local clinic and its life-saving supply of drugs.
But Ms. Mobuku, 45, is haunted by the fear that one day her luck will run out, and one of her malaria-infected children will not get treatment in time. That's why she recently bundled her three smallest children into a canoe and braved the flood-swollen river -- hoping that rumours about boats full of insecticide-treated bed nets were true.
There is a lot of malaria in our village because there are a lot of mosquitoes that live and breed by the river, said Ms. Mobuku. A bed net will be very helpful because it will protect my youngest children.
