Optional Add on

NOTE: For groups who want to add more meaning, depth to the experience, we can add a “ceremony” to the end the end of  trip whereby you’ll get to honour these yound adults! For families and groups wanting to have a more low-key tradional family or Dad’s and Lad’s fishing trip, this afternoon’s events can easily be swapped out for more fishing.

The morning begins with fishing back to Lumbe Pools arriving in time for brunch.  After brunch, we grab the beach games and snorkelling gear and head down to the Lumbe beaches.   As the sun starts to lower, everyone climbs onto the pontoon and heads out onto the Zambezi – it is time for the “Rite” Safari “Ceremony.”

The typical order of events runs as follows:

  1. INTRO SPEECH

    The Father/Mother/Mentor figure/s make speeches to their youngster / mentee about how they see them and call out the potential they see in them. It is a time to share your proudest moments and dreams for them.

  2. PASSING OF THE ‘BATON’

    Passing the Baton – this involves handing over a small but significant gift or symbol that marks their passage into adulthood. 

  3. ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

    The youngster/mentee then makes a speech in return acknowledging the influence on their lives these older figures have had on them and committing to uphold the values of the family, company or school etc. 

  4. WHISKEY TASTING

    Once the speeches are done, everyone enjoys a special whiskey or wine tasting together as the sun is setting over the Zambezi before returning to camp for dinner.
