You will be collected by our representative and transferred to the embarkation point for your cruise. Sail on the Zambezi river and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. A popular cruise including finger snacks, beer, wine, local spirits and soft drinks. There are great photo opportunities against often-spectacular African sunsets. Transfer back to your chalet.
A guide will collect from your hotel, for a tour of the Victoria Falls. Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - ‘the Smoke that Thunders’ and in more modern terms as ‘the greatest known curtain of falling water’, Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe. A path along the edge of the forest provides the visitor who is prepared to brave the tremendous spray with an unparalleled series of views of the Falls. Different times of the year will provide completely different experiences of the Falls region. Peak flood season is around March and April and the full power of the falls can be experienced in all its glory. As the floods abate, the view of the falls gets better and better through the year, but at its lowest, around October, November and December the Falls become little rivulets running over the edge and in some places along the 1,7km width no water falls at all.
In the afternoon - a quartet of High Adrenaline activities: The Flying Fox, Zip Line, Gorge Swing and Canopy Tour.
A full day's White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River.
Victoria Falls is a mile long curtain of water that stretches across the glistening basalt rock, erupts into spray, and then thunders into the canyons below. The walls of basalt rock that capture the mighty Zambezi form one of the great river corridors of the world. This is the domain of the Nyaminyami, the River God of the Tonga people and is the ‘highway’ for our rafts. The gorge is over 100 meters deep at the Falls and increases to over 200 meters by the end of a full day White Water Rafting trip. Despite this rugged terrain, the gorges below the Falls are thick with vegetation and incredibly spectacular.
The rapids on the Zambezi River are officially defined as “Grade 5” by the British Canoe Union (Grade 6 being commercially un-runnable). Lunch is included.
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.
Depending on your period of travel, it may be High Water (usually end December till mid August) or Low Water (mid August - late December).
Minimum age: 15 years (At management’s discretion younger children may be accepted if the child is of the right maturity, strength and will fit a lifejacket securely.)
Maximum age: There is no maximum age limit; however the rafting guide / operator retain the right to refuse to take a client who is clearly going to be unable to cope with the rigours of rafting.
You will be transferred to Victoria Falls airport for your departure.
