Location
This trial adventure is set in the beautiful Selinda Spill way, perfect for walking and canoes. The trail begins a little way down from the Motswiri Camp in the north-west and travels eastward through the private Selinda Reserve towards Linyati and Kwnado where the Zarafa and Selinda camps are situated.
This 4 day/3 night adventure covers about 70km and nights are spent where the canoes end up. During the day you will have a relaxed paddle, stopping on the banks of the river to observe the amazing birds in the area, interesting vegetation and of course the elephant, buffalo, white cheetah, lion and other buck species.
Should there be an interesting area to see the guide will suggest a short hike into the bush to show you as much as there is to see.
This experience will give you a new respect for nature.
Day 1: The guide will brief the group and the trail starts with a short walk to the canoe station where the real adventure begins. As there is no set distance to be covered on the first day and due to the fact that all the equipment is carried with the group, we will paddle until we are ready to stop. It will be just before sunset at a suitable site on the banks of the Spillway. The dome tented camp will be erected and we will enjoy well-deserved sundowners around the campfire before we have dinner, followed by a good night's sleep
Day 2:After an early wake-up call, tea or coffee and light breakfast can be enjoyed while the camp is being dismantled. Then we head out on the canoes for a full day of paddling, with lunch en route and the possibility of stretching our legs if we come across a situation worth investigating on foot. Tonight we camp in another suitable location as we gradually make our way down the Spillway.
Day 3: An early breakfast once again, as camp is taken down before we continue along the water course by canoe for another full-day excursion and set up camp for the last night of this trail.
Day 4: We head out after breakfast as we aim to finish at around 11h00, being met by vehicle and transferred by road to the Selinda airstrip (or to Selinda or Zarafa camps), where we bid farewell to the safari.
