Let the day drift.
Watch the bank change as you move along it, or stay in one place and let the afternoon pass. River time brings a different pace to a journey through Namibia.
Choose the river chapter
The Zambezi and the Kunene sit in very different landscapes. We look at where you are already travelling and how many nights you can give the river before recommending a route. Neither should be squeezed into a spare afternoon on a distant itinerary.
Time on the water
A boat outing can offer another view of birds and wildlife, while a longer stay makes room for time ashore and quiet hours between activities. Available outings depend on the property, operator and current river conditions.
A houseboat stay
Zambezi Sol is part of Sol Collection. Visit its own website to explore the houseboat and ask us how it could fit into a wider journey. Accommodation, transfers and activities are confirmed for your dates.
