There are a number of paddle routes

depending on people’s experience and desire. Each bright yellow boat has been hand-made by Steve and is equipped with state of the art equipment from the United States and Australia. We paddle to villages, down mangrove tributaries keeping an eye out for egrets, fish eagles, a goshawk and many other birds. Because it is salt water and shallow there are no hippos, crocs, sharks or any other dangerous creatures to worry about. Being down the groves is amazing – the only sound heard are the birds and your paddle dipping into the still waters. After a paddle you can fish, snorkel or take a nap in a hammock. A few days later it will sadly be time to go home. After a drive to Tanga it is a short plane ride to Kilimanjaro Airport and then on to home. As you leave Tanzania, relish the fact that not only did you see spectacular wildlife on safari but you truly saw Tanzania, its people and its beauty in a way very few have.

Many people tell me Africa is on their bucket list. To them I say “Someday” Is Now!
