“A cruise taking you where others want to go.”

The principle of exploration is to travel to places that seem untouchable. Places that beg to be seen, yet seem to be out of reach. Using specially designed jet propelled boats, passengers can reach the very shallow water amongst the islands directly above the waterfall. Meandering between the islands gives you a glimpse of the ‘Smoke That Thunders’, before and after it has rumbled over the edge of the Victoria Falls.

This peaceful part of the river is bathed in tranquillity, yet activity hums through the trees and vibrates along the current as the bush breathes with the flap of bird’s wings, hippos disorientate the water by blowing small pockets of water from their snouts, and the leaves from the overhanging tree branches raise their tips in the water, or stroke the skyline and keep watch over the unfolding animal lives.

Occasionally, elephants will submerge their bodies into the river and swim from island to island, while crocodiles break the face of the river and glide onto the banks to warm themselves in the sun’s rays.

Bushtracks river safari boats each have two engines for increased safety and are jet propelled rather than by propellor, so you can experience the Zambezi River as viewed by David Livingstone as he canoed, unknowingly, towards The Victoria Falls.
