Water Safaris
Boat safaris on the Lunga's glass-clear waters, among otters, monitor lizards and basking hippos.
The Lunga is a different river to the great Zambezi — narrower, clearer, more intimate. Boat safaris move quietly along its channels, where spotted-necked otters hunt in the shallows, monitor lizards drape the branches and hippos nap in the pools.
The clarity of the water is the reserve's quiet marvel: much of the river life is visible not just at the surface, but through it.
