What you can expect more on Zambezi Whitewater Rafting Trip

At Shockwave Adventures, our friendly driver will pick you from your Victoria Falls hotel in the early morning and transport you to the park. After an important safety briefing, you will hike down to the notorious Boiling Point to meet our Zambezi whitewater rafting guide. Lifejackets, helmets and other safety supplies are provided and our Zambezi whitewater rafting guide will ensure the boat is balanced before your epic journey over level 4 and 5 rapids begin. Low water season, when rapids are most intense, is typically between August and December, while high water season occurs between January and March and then again in June and July. Check in advance during April and May to ensure Zambezi whitewater rafting is still taking place if water levels have fallen.

You will hammer your way through notorious rapids with terrifying names like "The Overland Truck-eater" and "Gnashing Jaws of Death." You will not only be enjoying the adrenaline-pumping thrills of this exceptional activity, you will also marvel at the stark, sheer beauty and tranquility of the breathtaking Batoka gorge.

Upon landing in your endpoint, you will climb with your Zambezi whitewater rafting guide for the highest point of the gorge and enjoy cold beers, BBQ, and fresh fruit. The Zambezi whitewater rafting tour finishes up with a slideshow of the day at Cafe, followed by a return trip to your hotel.
