Top Experiences in Batoka Gorge

Brave the Zambezi River’s exhilarating rapids on a full-day whitewater rafting adventure at Bakota Gorge, with lunch included. Alongside an onboard rafting instructor, battle the powerful river’s ‘grade 5’ rapids for some 15 miles (24km) through the deep-valley canyon – a breathtaking site that’s fringed by towering basalt cliffs and remote wilderness. Experience is not required; however, bravery, a good standard of fitness and a sense of humor is essential!

The Zambezi River below the Victoria Falls is widely considered to be the very best White Water Rafting river in the world. A deep channeled, high volume river, the Zambezi has class 3 – 5 rapids interspersed with tranquil pools.

Free `Swimming under the Falls´ included as well as free photos of the day!!

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). 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.

Please note : This activity departs from Victoria Falls Town, Zimbabwe.
