Shackletons provides access to 130km of the Upper Zambezi River, called 'God's Highway' by David Livingstone. Shackletons is open all year round, even when the river floods its banks each year to form the Zambezi floodplains.

Shackletons is home to nearly 300 bird species that can be spotted at the Lodge, or by boat along the river banks, or by Mokorro in the tranquil river channels.
