Boat Game Viewing

Exploring Kariba by Boat

Glide across Lake Kariba observing wildlife along banks, shallows, and open water with expert guidance.

Boat safaris move along the lake’s edges where animals gather to drink or cross shallow waters. Elephants wade near shorelines, hippos surface nearby, and crocodiles rest along banks. Birdlife is active overhead, and changing light during the cruise adds depth to the overall experience.

On our first African Safari, I booked our Zimbabwe portion through Where To Africa Experiences - this was one of the best decisions I made on the entire trip.

I took 13 people to Victoria Falls for 3 nights and had a trip with Where To Africa. They made everything very easy, and the payment process was straightforward.
