WHITE-WATER
RAFTING
Considered one of the best stretches of commercially run river in the world,
Batoka Gorge provides one of the most intense sensory thrills imaginable. Its
twenty three whitewater rapids and striking scenery deep within the sheer black cliffs
afford the adrenaline junkie a wild roller coaster ride along a route carved over millenia
by the Great Zambezi.
The rapids are run in large rubber rafts,
launched from just below the Falls. You can do a half day trip, full day or two day.
When the river is high, March - July, only the last
13 rapids can be done. As the water subsides, from June to February, all 23 are navigable.
If you are
keen for the ultimate thrill then a multi-day trip along the Zambezi is it!
After a full day of rafting, you'll set up camp in the Batoka Gorge and
listen as the wildlife, gaze into the campfire and a down a few cold drinks
before you settle in for the night. Rise to a big breakfast, and the crazy
adventure starts again! Perfect for a group (4+ persons) travelling
together.
Overnight
camps are on sandy beaches on the river's edge deep in the gorge

adventure companies offering rafting at the falls.
