- Zambezi River - The adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Livingstone or Victoria Falls, followed by a scenic drive to the edge of the Batoka Gorge. After a full safety briefing and being fitted with helmets and life jackets, guests hike down into the gorge to meet the expert rafting guides.
Once on the river, the real excitement begins. Depending on the chosen option:
• Big Water Thrill (Rapids 1–7): Starting just below the Victoria Falls in the famous “boiling pot,” this option takes on some of the Zambezi’s most powerful Grade IV–V rapids. Expect big waves, adrenaline-pumping drops, and a truly once-in-a-lifetime rafting experience.
• Family Adventure (Rapids 7–14): Paddle through fun yet gentler rapids that are safe for children aged 12 and above, with calmer stretches in between where guests can admire the breathtaking cliffs and possibly spot wildlife along the riverbanks.
At the end of the run, guests exit the gorge with the assistance of the crew and enjoy a well-deserved rest. Cold bottled water and light snacks are provided, and then the return to the hotel follows.
