Explore Africa’s inland waterways
RIVERS, DELTAS & LAKES
Africa’s rivers, deltas, and lakes are the continent’s lifelines, weaving through breathtaking landscapes and supporting its surrounding wildlife. Their extraordinary biodiversity offers a rich tapestry of wildlife and stunning landscapes, making them an adventurer's paradise waiting to be explored by boat, kayak, or canoe.
An adventure seeker’s dream
Explore the mighty Zambezi River with its roaring rapids and serene backwaters, or the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts vast herds of animals and over 400 species of birds. Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, offers a striking contrast with its jade-green waters, volcanic islands and unique ecosystems of Nile crocodiles, flamingos and endemic fish species.

Drift silently through papyrus-lined channels in a mokoro — a traditional dugout canoe — the most authentic way to explore the Okavango’s labyrinth of waterways.
