White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River
Duration: Full-day and half-day options
The Zambezi is home to some of the most famous Grade IV and V rapids, including "The Stairway to Heaven," "The Devil’s Toilet Bowl," and "Oblivion." These rapids promise heart-pounding action as you navigate through powerful waves and deep channels. Between the rapids, you’ll enjoy the stunning scenery of the steep basalt cliffs and lush riverbanks, where you might spot wildlife such as baboons and fish eagles.
The sheer power of the rapids combined with the breathtaking setting makes this an unforgettable adventure. Choose between a half-day adventure or a full-day experience, with the latter covering up to 25 km of thrilling white water. Expert river guides ensure safety while making the experience fun and memorable. Safety briefings and high-quality gear (helmets, life jackets, and paddles) are provided.
