See a different side of safari
Choosing a Safari Lodge on the river adds a whole new dimension to your safari experience.
As well as 4x4 vehicle safaris lots of lodges run river cruises that allow you to see different creatures along the waterways.
Boating and river safaris are available in many places throughout Africa including:
- Rufiji River, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania – full of hundreds of hippos and as well as crocodiles.
- Sabie River, Kruger National Park, S.Africa – lots of hippos and a popular elephant crossing.
- Chobe River, Chobe National Park, Botswana – a drinks station for cape buffalo and elephant.
Waterways are also rife with birdlife and many lodges run fishing trips too.
If you are looking for a safari holiday with an added twist, then consider a river lodge to incorporate a boat safari.
