About this activity
Navigate the thundering rapids of the Zambezi River below Victoria Falls, one of Africa's most dramatic natural wonders. This full-day expedition takes you through a spectacular basalt canyon system carved by the mighty river, offering adrenaline-pumping whitewater alongside some of the world's most breathtaking scenery.
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 forms 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.
All guests will be collected from their respective hotels and taken to Khanondo Town Office for their briefing. We provide a safekeeping facility at check-in, where valuables can be left at your own risk. Clients are given the option between an “oar boat” and a “paddle boat”.
