Tiger Shakes on the Zambezi - Bring Your Camera

Bring Your Camera

Most groups will spend at least one day, or part thereof, viewing game in the Chobe National Park. With daily sightings of four of the big five (lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant), anglers visiting the Zambezi are afforded a variety of wildlife photo opportunities.

Cultural tours to the local Zambia villages allow guests the opportunity to interact with the community and offer assistance by donating books or building materials for schools and clinics. For the adventurous, outings to the local Shabeens (informal drinking taverns frequented by the local tribesmen) can be arranged.

Nature walks with local Zambia guides will open your eyes to the rich resources the African bush offers those who depend on it for subsistence. From the sticky “chewing gum tree” sap, a local delicacy, to elephant dung mosquito repellent, the African bush is wonderfully productive in all her intricacies.

The local craft markets are not to be missed. Large items will be shipped to overseas addresses for a small cost. Impressive hardwood ornaments provide great décor for a game room or bar.

The Zambezi sunsets are world famous and provide the perfect backdrop for your last cast of the day or a cold sundowner.
