Travelling up to 60km downstream this itinerary offers ample birding and angling opportunities.

Here you can enjoy the abundance of wildlife that makes this area famous.  Being on the river gives a new dimension to game viewing – the animals showing an almost fearless disdain for a floating object - which allows you to come closer to a large variety of game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, sable antelope, hippo and crocodile and many other species of buck.  Numerous bird species also add to nature’s unending display. Angling opportunities for this itinerary are limited.
