Overnight and Multi day Trips on the Zambezi River below Victoria falls in Africa. Considered one of the Best White Water Adventure Vacations anywhere

A wonderful way to experience true African untamed wilderness is to embark on an overnight or multi-day adventure rafting holidays on the Zambezi River.

Enjoy white water rafting the Zambezi river and at night set up camp on sandy beaches and sleep under the stars.

A minimum of four people is needed to confirm a trip, so they are ideal for groups of friends.

We can do private trips and special departures if more than 6 people confirm.

Batoka Gorge : Map

A world heritage site, with its steep cliffs, churning deep waters and abundant bird life, the Batoka gorge is a spectacular site to behold.

Forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the gorge is too steep for much animal life, but birdlife is abundant with one of the most concentrated populations of avian raptors in the world, including the rare, African Taita Falcon.
