The Paddlers

Navigation, paddling

All Expedition members will assist in paddling however the stern of each Mokoro (wooden canoe) will be manned by a local expert. Lemmy Nyambe, Saad Mweemba, Isaac Sitali, Victor Sikushaba (from left to right) are with out doubt the most vital Expedition members.

These men have grown up on the Zambezi and have been navigating these waters since they were old enough to hold the large paddles.

On the expedition we will encounter many hazards including rapids, hidden rocks, hippo and crocodile. Their ability to position the canoe with pinpoint accuracy, intimate knowledge of the multiple channels and back waters and their harmonious respect for wildlife is the most important element of the trip for our safety. Thanks guys for volunteering and making this expedition possible.
