Safari Par Excellence started running Zambezi Canoeing Safaris in the Lower Zambezi National Park in 1991. Today Safari Par Excellence operates Zambezi Raft Float Safaris from Livingstone on the Upper Zambezi, this is the section of the Zambezi River upstream of the Victoria Falls. This part of the Zambezi River offers great wildlife viewing with the excitement of running small Grade 2 rapids.
The Upper Zambezi River is a beautiful place for a raft float, with stunning vegetation such as ebonies, water berries, palms and a tremendous variety of acacia and Albizia. The Raft Float route whilst operated in Zambia passes through National Parks located in Zimbabwe, and the pristine bush land of Zambia where there is a possibility of chances to see game such as hippo, crocodile, elephant, giraffe and numerous birdlife.
Based out of The Victoria Falls Waterfront, on offer are ½ day, full day or an overnight trip where the evening is spent in tents by the riverside and a delicious meal and cool drinks are enjoyed under the beautiful African skies.
While on the river safety is our major concern, a full safety briefing is given before the safari commences, paddle training is given on dry land and then perfected on the river. The guide is always accompanied by a trainee/paddler, a comprehensive first aid kit and communications equipment is always carried.
Based out of The Victoria Falls Waterfront, SAFPAR operate Half and Full Day Safaris. The shorter half day safari is ideal for guests who are limited on time, a full day safari includes lunch on a shady island offering a peaceful break and opportunity to explore. The full day experience will enter the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in the afternoon.
