We frequently have guests who decide to join a trip based on a birthday celebration or even occasionally we have people celebrating anniversaries. We were fortunate enough to have 2 wonderful couples join us recently on the Zambezi for the same reason, their honeymoons. Both couples added to their experiences by going on safari to Chobe National Park to the gorgeous Elephant Valley Lodge, and taking a trip out to the Devils Pool, on Livingstone Island, for some utterly memorable photos!
Tom and Anique enjoy a bottle of “bubbly” on the banks of the Zambezi
Although both couples joined the same trip celebrating the same occasion, Anique and Tom were from the Netherlands in their late 20’s whilst Pat and Steven from the UK were in their 70’s and celebrating their FIRST rafting trip. When I met Pat and Stephen at a Travel Expo, Pat asked ” What is the best river to raft?” May answer naturally was the Zambezi. “Could I do it she enquired?” Of course was my response. Not only did they conquer 4 days of the wildest rapids on the Mighty Zambezi (without flipping or swimming) they flew back to their hotel by helicopter and took in as many extra activities as they could. We helped both couples celebrate with a bottle of Champagne each and over looking the amazing Lower Moemba, they enjoyed Wine and Cheese as sundowners on the penultimate day of their river trip.

No matter what you have to celebrate, celebrations on the river, are far more FUN!

Why NOW Is The Time To Raft The Zambezi
Very few rivers are as iconic as the Zambezi river apart from perhaps the Grand Canyon. For the past 25 years that I have been rafting this world class river, there have been rumours, failed deals, and false alarms of a dam that would flood the rapids and alter the natural landscape. Now, things are […]
