INCLUDES

Full day rafting (according to high/low water schedules)
Transfers are included to and from any Victoria Falls (Zambia) accommodation.

Tame the wildest white water and come rafting on the Zambezi River. This is an adrenaline rush not to be missed.

The rapids on the Zambezi River are officially defined as “Grade 5” by the British Canoe Union (Grade 6 rapids are not commercially run).
Guests should be reasonably fit for this activity as there is a steep walk into and out of the Batoka Gorge as well as the white water rafting activity itself.
The gorge is over 100 meters deep at the Falls and increases to over 200 meters by the end of a full day raft trip. Despite this rugged terrain, the gorges below the Falls are thick with vegetation and incredibly spectacular.

Duration: Approx. 6 hours

Note:
Low Water Rafting runs approx : 10th August – 25th December. Rapids: #1 to #19
High Water Rafting runs approx: 25th Dec – 10th August. Rapids: #11 to #23
All passengers are given a life jacket and helmet.

What to bring

  • Sunscreen
  • Clothes you don’t mind getting wet

What to wear

  • A swimsuit and shorts/cycling shorts but nothing that water will get sucked away by the water

  • Sturdy shoes/trainers or rafting shoes. Your shoes must be securely fitted to your feet (i.e. no flip-flops) They will be lost if they are not secured

Who should come:

Minimum age: 15 years (This can be flexible, and at management’s discretion i.e. if the child is of the right maturity, strength and will fit into a life jacket properly then younger children are sometimes accepted.)

Maximum age: There is no maximum age limit, however management retains the right to refuse to take a client who is clearly going to be unable to cope with the rigors of rafting.

NB!  You must be fit enough to walk into and out of the gorge which is very strenuous.
