Activities
All activities will be conducted from tender boats.
Each cabin will have its own tender boat and guide where possible, however
staying aboard Nguni is an activity in itself. From the elevated position
of the viewing deck you have a birds eye view of the surrounding
floodplains and waterways. |

Game Viewing
Game viewing will take place on the Chobe
River. Viewing game from the water is a memorable experience, the game
does not feel threatened from a water born source therefore the
photographic
opportunities are exceptional. The Chobe has the largest concentration of
elephants in Africa and for this reason alone the Chobe is a must for any
visitor to Nguni. There are vast buffalo herds and numerous plains game
species that traverse the area as well as the possibility of sighting
predators such as Lion, Wild Dog, Hyena and Leopard.

Birding:
Approximately 450 species of birds occur throughout this area. It is the
most prolific birding wildlife area in Southern Africa due to a diverse
spread of habitats. Being situated on the Northern boundary of Southern
Africa migratory birds can be seen on their way North or South. The rivers
have an enormous fish resource and therefore are home to magnificient
water birds. Some of the iconic species of the area such as the African
Fish Eagle, Mallachite Kingfisher, African Jacana and African Skimmer can
be viewed easily from Nguni. We however do specialise in trying and
finding the rarities like the Slaty Egret, Rosy-throated Longclaw,
Coppery Sunbird, White Backed Night Heron and Pels Fishing Owl. |

Local Culture:
All clients aboard Nguni will be part of the Zambezi culture. The river
communities that live along the banks of the river are known as the Lozi
and Masubia. Visitors are able to experience their lifestyle by simply
observing as they tend to their daily duties or be more participatory as
guests in one of their villages. Here we have the opportunity to
understand how they live their way of life.

Walks:
The floodplain and wetland areas of the Zambezi and Chobe
have a diverse ecological makeup. The opportunity to take guided walks is
available over varying distances and within different habitats. The
walking is comfortable as the terrain is reasonably flat and is not
exclusively for the energetic.
