white water rafting in Victoria Falls

Full-Day White Water Rafting – Zambezi River Rapids Adventure

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - View on map
Description

Get ready for one of the most exhilarating adventures in Africa — a Full-Day White Water Rafting trip on the Zambezi River, starting just below Victoria Falls. This is not for the faint-hearted — you’ll take on Grade IV and V rapids with names like “The Overland Truck Eater”, “The Devil’s Toilet Bowl”, and “Oblivion.”

Your day begins with a safety briefing and hike down into the Batoka Gorge. With expert guides and all safety equipment provided, you’ll paddle through 21 world-class rapids spread across a 25-kilometer stretch of the river.

In between rapids, you’ll float through calm pools surrounded by dramatic basalt cliffs, and if you’re lucky, spot wildlife like vervet monkeys, hornbills, or even crocodiles sunbathing on the rocks. After the rafting, enjoy a cold drink and a hot meal before hiking out of the gorge — exhausted but elated.

No experience is required, but you must be in good physical condition and comfortable in water. Expert guides give full instructions and safety briefings before and during the trip.

Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, change of clothes, and river shoes or sports sandals. Avoid loose jewelry or anything you don’t want to lose in the river. Dry bags are provided for essentials.

Rafting runs from August to late December (low water, more technical rapids) and January to March (high water season). It’s closed during the peak flood months (April–July) for safety.
