The walk in and out of the Batoka Gorge involves a 250 meter climb which is quite strenuous but can be conquered by anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Armed with a walking stick, life jacket and helmet, you will hike down the Batoka Gorge and pass under the historic Victoria Falls Bridge to the “Boiling Pot” below the Falls where you will be ferried by a raft to the rocky outcrops below the Falls. Swim in the rock pools, shower under the spray of the thunderous Victoria Falls and gaze up at the rainbows forming above you.

Shearwater Batoka Gorge Hike Credit: Shearwater Victoria Falls A 40-minute drive through the countryside of Zimbabwe on off-road terrain will offer picturesque scenery on the way to the top of the Gorge. After the safety and procedural briefing you will take the vertical descent to Rapid 23 and enjoy the hour long walk along the river to rapid 25. The hiking continues into an authentic beautiful Ndebele homestead where you will get a chance to interact with the local headman and his family while you have brunch under the thatched shade of their decorated mud huts. The graceful hosts are keen to show off their home, share their cultural way of life in relation to family, education, livestock, diet and anything you may find interesting. This is a non-seasonal activity which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
