Time + Tide Tsara Komba

Explore the Zambezi River on a seasonal canoeing safari led by expert Time + Tide guides, available only when water levels allow. This experience follows gentle channels away from the main flow, where canoes drift past sandbanks, overhanging trees and river edges frequented by wildlife. Watch animals approach the water and birdlife gather along the banks, all from a low, unobtrusive vantage point that changes how the river is experienced.

Moving at the river’s pace allows close observation without disturbance, offering a rare way to encounter the Zambezi beyond traditional game drives. It is one of the most immersive ways to experience the river in its natural state.

Set out on the Zambezi River for a guided tiger fishing experience known for its energy and unpredictability. Led by experienced Time + Tide guides, this outing takes you to deep channels where tiger fish are most active, prized for their speed and powerful fight. Casting from the river places you close to the action, with wildlife often visible along the banks as elephants, hippos and crocodiles move in and out of the water.

All equipment is provided and fishing is strictly catch and release, ensuring the river’s ecosystem remains protected. Whether you are new to fishing or an experienced angler, this experience delivers a distinctive blend of challenge, scenery and wildlife encounters.

Spend the night outdoors on a guided sleepout safari with Time + Tide, set in secluded locations across South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. This experience invites you to leave the lodge behind and settle into a private camp designed for the night, complete with custom-built tents, bedrolls and a small support team. In South Luangwa, the sleepout is set within a dry riverbed deep inside the park. In the Lower Zambezi, it sits high on the escarpment with far-reaching valley views.

As evening arrives, the focus shifts to the setting itself — firelight, open skies and the sounds of wildlife moving through the landscape. You'll fall asleep beneath the stars and wake with the sunrise, experiencing the bush in its most elemental form.
