Picnicking on islands in the Zambezi
Picnicking on islands in the Zambezi
Zambia, Zimbabwe
We’ve all picnicked on a well-tended lawn in a pretty park, but that doesn’t hold a candle to doing it in the wilds of Africa, on an island in the mighty Zambezi River. This is a popular curated experience, particularly above the Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Your knowledgeable Travel Architect will know where the best spots are for fulfilling your personal picnic desire, for example arranging a boat or canoe trip to a secluded, sandy island for lunch or sundowners, or combining your picnic with a waterborne safari to spot hippos, crocodiles and elephants, or as part of a birding and angling excursion.
Once you’ve decided where you want to go and what you would love to see and do, it’s a matter of the picnic meal: like something simpler and lighter, or a more luxurious, five-star spread.
Whichever option you choose, it’s a good (and prudent) idea to book your outing with your Travel Architect, as their knowledge of local attractions and conditions is vital, and they can ensure that you’ll enjoy safe transport and gear – not to mention great food!
