Kayaking safaris From dugout mokoro canoe safaris in Botswana’s Okavango Delta to stalking improbable-looking shoebills on Uganda’s Lake Albert and Lake Victoria, canoe and small-boat excursions can be a great way to experience Africa’s wildlife, and this also applies to the continent’s coastal regions. Consider Kenya for clients looking for easy, more
accessible kayaking that can work well for beginners as well as those more experienced. Here, options include exploring the mangrove habitats of the Diani Beach resort area, near Mombasa, and marveling at the Tana River Delta’s birdlife. The clear waters off Mozambique Island offer a
nice option for more adventurous vistors, affording excellent kayak-based marine life viewing, from admiring the impressive reef systems to snapping
photos of the technicolor fish and crabs. Alternatively, sightings of everything from bottlenose dolphins to dugongs, or sea cows, can be had on sea kayaking tours in southern Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, a marine national park.
Underwater resorts For clients looking to get even more immersed in Africa’s marine life action, suggest booking a memorable staying option such as Manta Resort, on Zanzibar’s Pemba Island. Located 13ft below sea level the floating, three-storey wooden structure’s Underwater Room offers some serious wow factor and bragging rights. Guests are able to lie back in bed and watch the marine world and its assorted denizens go by through the extra thick windows. Now how cool is that?
