Once we pass Kariba gorge the terrain changes opening up to more flatter ground.
Here we get the opportunity to view an abundant variety of birdlife and antelope.
On occasion elephants and buffalo have been seen on this stretch of the river.
As far as the daily routine goes, the day starts with tea, coffee and biscuits at sunrise. Setting off early makes for easy paddling, as the wind is calm and the day is not too hot.
