Travel bucket list idea:
Zimbabwe
If rafting the Grade V white-water rapids of the Batoka Gorge are too intimidating, a sedate canoe safari on the Zambezi River above the Falls is a good fallback option.
Using stable inflatable canoes, you’ll paddle through a selection of small rapids, viewing both the Zambian and Zimbabwean side of the river. Big game sightings – including hippo, elephant and crocodile – are commonplace, ensuring your fair share of adrenalin.

Organised tours are a must here, and a range of half- and full-day trips are available, although routes change as the river level rises. Operators will collect you from your hotel. Use a high-factor sunscreen, and don’t forget a sun-hat.
Kayaking trips run all year round, seven days a week. Start times vary by operator, but morning half-day tours will usually leave around 7am; afternoon half-day tours depart around 3pm.
In the height of summer (July-August) the half-day morning trail is best, avoiding the worst afternoon heat. The autumn dry season (March-May) is best for game viewing along the river, with animals from far and wide drawn to the lush Zambezi. Birding is best from September to April.
