Guided canoe trips?
I'm in the process of planning a return trip to Southern Africa. Does
anyone know of a guided canoe trip (multi-day preferred) that's worthwhile, in the Botswana/northern South Africa area? Also, now that Harry's is gone from Mala Mala, what is the most affordable camp in the Sabi area - no luxury needed, just good game drives? TIA, Nancy |

TIA, Nancy I've heard that Swaziland has some good white water rafting. http://www.swazitrails.co.sz/trails_wwr.html White Water Rafting White water rafting at the Mkhaya Game Reserve along the Usutu River is one of Swazilands popular lesiure activities. For the most part the river is slow and fairly tame apart from when it gets close to the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, as it passes through the narrow Bulungu Gorge. Reg. Hans |

I did a 6 day canoe trip with them about 6 years ago on the Orange River between South Africa and Namibia, and it was excellent. I was a canoe guide for 13 years, and completely felt at ease running a trip as a client of theirs. --riverman |

Guided canoe trips?
I have stayed at Elephant Plains twice, most recently in July 2004, so it's
a while ago now, but for what it's worth: It's an excellent lodge for the price - not quite as plush as some of the expensive places but still very comfortable. The staff and vehicles are just as good as any I have encountered. This is a link to photos from my 2004 trip - the ones taken at Elephant Plains are at the beginning and are labelled with the location: http://www.pbase.com/mrk03/south_africa_2004 As you can see, there were a lot of leopard in the area. Unless it has really changed for the worse in the last 18 mths I would highly recommend it. Michael |
