Zambezi river hippo

The Zambezi River can turn from flat and calm to angry and choppy with a headwind into which you have to steer your fibreglass canoe.

This is more than enough to contend with but when a grumpy territorial male hippo decides you are too close and makes a mock charge which produces something akin to a tidal wave, you really have something to talk about when you get home.

Hippopotamus are much-maligned animals. They are not inherently aggressive.

In areas where they are not harassed hippos are surprisingly tolerant animals, given an escape route they will almost always move out of one’s way.

More often than not charging hippos are just trying to get to deeper water.

Your guides have safely canoed tens of thousands of tourists into this pristine wilderness with very few if any major mishaps.

Just enjoy "God's Gifts" in one of the last true wilderness areas on earth
