Probably the best way to appreciate the beauty, peace and wildlife of the Zambezi River above the Falls is to canoe on the mighty Zambezi through narrow channels and drift down past stretches of one of Africa’s most enchanted rivers. A Canoeing Safari on the Upper Zambezi River, is a wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy the astonishingly beautiful scenery that lines the river before it takes its plunge over the Victoria Falls. This part of the river is dotted with many islands of varying size; home to many birds and small animals. This is the route David Livingstone took on his way in search of the rising clouds of mist. It was in fact along these banks that he remarked “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”
