Boat Trips
“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows.
What Are Boat Trips in Africa?
A day on the water offers a wonderful way to experience Africa from a different perspective. At Nziza, boat trips are among the hand-picked experiences we can incorporate into your tailor-made African journey, whether you are looking for wildlife viewing, fishing, sightseeing or simply time to relax on the water.
From the elegant houseboats of Botswana’s Chobe River to deep-sea fishing charters along Kenya’s picturesque coast, each destination offers its own unique experience. You might cruise quietly along a river in search of elephants and hippos, venture into mangrove forests aboard a traditional wooden boat, or head offshore for an exciting day of deep-sea fishing.
Why Take a Boat Trip?
Boat trips reveal a side of Africa that you simply cannot experience from a game drive. Being on the water offers a quieter, more immersive way to explore the continent’s landscapes and wildlife.
Along South Africa’s coast, boat excursions can offer the chance to spot southern right whales, while a leisurely cruise along the Chobe River brings you close to elephants, hippos and abundant birdlife gathered along the water’s edge. Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, a boat trip can add an entirely new dimension to your safari.
Things to Do on a Boat Trip
Experiences vary by destination, but boat trips with Nziza can include:
- Scenic cruises on rivers, lakes and the open sea
- Deep-sea and fly-fishing excursions along Kenya’s coast
- Houseboat stays and river cruises on the Chobe River
- Whale-watching trips along South Africa’s coastline
- Mangrove boat trips in search of birdlife and marine life
- Private sunset and sightseeing cruises
Plan Your Boat Trip
Whatever your ideal day on the water looks like, Nziza can tailor the experience to your African journey. Enjoy a peaceful sunset cruise, spend a day deep-sea fishing off the coast of Kenya, watch wildlife from a Chobe River houseboat or explore Africa’s coastline in search of whales.
A boat trip adds a memorable water-based dimension to an African safari, combining wildlife, scenery and adventure in an unhurried and immersive way.
