Tanzania and Botswana both have lovely lodges located on rivers and deltas. Experiencing the wildlife 'on their own level' is a different feeling entirely! We glide quietly when elephants are present as to minimize disturbance while they are playing or drinking by the waters edge.
Quite often crocodiles are basking in the sun on the beach and their large scale is brought home in the safety of the boat. At other times we will glide by a few sets of hippo eyes.
Simply glorious, welcome one and all.
