18-foot Canadian canoes with two cushioned seats (with backs) are your transportation. Four team members, consisting of a cook, two camp hands and a guide, will host each Selinda Canoe Trail departure. The team will accompany the Trail in their own canoes, and carry the majority of the gear. The day's snacks, drinks and personal gear will be distributed amongst the travellers' canoes. The team has been carefully selected to give you a truly memorable experience.
On arrival in camp in the late afternoon, the team will set up each dome tent. The dome tents are practical as well as comfortable and safe. The zipper entry opens wide for easy access and maneuverability as well as good airflow. Inside, there are two thick foam bedrolls (on the ground) with quality linen and towels. Ablution facilities consist of bucket showers (hot water supplied in the evenings) and 'long drop' lavatories with a raised seat. Each is surrounded by a canvas tent and placed at a distance to provide privacy.
Relax by the fire while watching the chef craft dinner by open fire. The cuisine is hearty, fresh and well prepared. Beer, wine, and a limited selection of soft drinks are supplied. Water is filtered directly from the Selinda Spillway, and is completely safe to drink. Special requests for bottled water, champagne and premium liquors can be supplied for additional cost and should be arranged well in advance. You are also free to bring your own drinks of any variety.
Note: Should you be concerned about fitness, there is the possibility of three travellers in one canoe. Please let us know in advance if this is required.
