Itinerary

Full Description of your itinerary

You will be pick up from your hotel between 7am -7.30am. Prior to your trip you will be asked to sign indemnities sent through to you on email. Please make sure you sign this document! . Please wear light clothing that you don't mind getting wet - including footwear. Bring sunscreen.

Depending on the season, if doing a Full Stretch rafting you will jump into our jeeps and drive only 5 minutes to the top or the canyon but if its High Water (Half Stretch) rafting you will drive approximately 15km to the river . Once you get to the top of the canyon you will be given a life-jackets, wind breaker if raining, helmets & a paddle if opted for paddle raft. Your head guide will give a full safety briefing. Following the safety briefing you will begin the steep climb down into the gorge, and then along the bottom of the gorge to the put-in point. Once you get at the bottom of the canyon your guide will allocate you some positions & do a practice in a pool first.

The epic adventure will then begin. If low water (August - December) you will start your 26km journey over 19 rapids most of which are grade 4 or 5. Higher water rafting (usually Jan-mid/end March and again June-July) may skip some rapids and overall distance of about 18km & 24km depending on the stretch that you booked as we offer High Water Half Stretch & High Water Full stretch.

Be aware rafting may close April-May - but this is subject to water levels.

Hammer your way through infamous rapids, whose names were conjured to instill fear and trepidation into would-be rafters, “The Terminators”, “The Mother”, “ and the Washing Machine. Our experienced guides will steer you on an unforgettable ride through the formidable rapids of the mighty Zambezi.
You will not only be enjoying the adrenaline pumping thrill of this exceptional activity, you will also marvel at the stark, sheer beauty and tranquility of the breathtaking Batoka gorge
