Your 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 getting fitted with helmets and life jackets, you’ll hike down into the gorge to meet your expert rafting guides.
Once on the river, the real fun begins. Depending on your choice:
• Big Water Thrill (Rapids 1–7): Start just below the Victoria Falls in the famous “boiling pot” and take on some of the Zambezi’s most powerful Grade IV–V rapids. Expect big waves, adrenaline-pumping drops, and a true once-in-a-lifetime rafting experience.
• Family Adventure (Rapids 7–14): Paddle through fun but gentler rapids that are safe for kids aged 12 and above, with calmer stretches in between where you can admire the breathtaking cliffs and maybe spot wildlife along the riverbanks.
At the end of your run, you’ll exit the gorge with the assistance of your crew and enjoy a well-deserved rest. Cold bottled water and light snacks will be provided, and then you’ll return to your hotel.
