Arguably the wildest white water in the world, rafting on the Zambezi River is an adrenaline rush not to be missed. The rapids on the Zambezi River are officially defined as “Grade 5” by the British Canoe Union (Grade 6 not being commercially run). Clients should be reasonably fit for this activity, as there is a steep walk into & out of the Batoka Gorge as well as the white water rafting activity itself. The gorge is over 100 meters deep at the Falls and increases to over 200 meters by the end of a full day raft trip. Despite this rugged terrain, the gorges below the Falls are thick with vegetation and incredibly spectacular.

overall, quite pleasant. however, the description of the experience is misleading. the climb down to the rafts before the trip and the climb up the mountain after the trip are very tiring and the participants should have been warned. - Iurii sheblov
There are steep walks up and down from the river as the rafting was through a beautiful gorge. The river is a fantastic rafting river- exciting rapids but nice calm areas between so there was no stress when we ended up in the water. Great guides. Great experience. - Sigrid Brynestad
The White Water Rafting experience was great - it's one of the longest and roughest locations to raft but safe also. Our guide, Simon, was really engaging and made the experience fun for a first-timer like me. However, the climb back up Vic Falls was a tough one and I needed help from one of the locals to get back up because I was out of breath. All in all it was a really cool experience. - Agata Kadylak
Excellent experience...highly recommended!! - Larry Jones
