Enjoy a full-day High-Water Zambezi White-Water Rafting adventure on the legendary river below Victoria Falls. You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Livingstone (Zambia) or Victoria Falls town (Zimbabwe) and transferred to the rafting access point.

After a full safety briefing and gear fitting with professional river guides, descend into the Batoka Gorge and paddle through powerful high-water rapids, massive wave trains, and fast-flowing sections of the Zambezi River. Snacks and drinking water are carried on the raft, with breaks taken when safe.

After hiking out of the gorge, a well-earned lunch and drinks are served, before you are transferred back to your hotel in the afternoon.
