White Water Rafting. Low Water Combo
August to January – Rapids 1 to 24

Considered the best one day rafting experience in the world, the Zambezi River flowing down the Batoka Gorge provides one of the most intense sensory thrills imaginable. Its white-water rapids and striking scenery, deep within the sheer black cliffs of the Batoka Gorge afford the adrenaline junkie a wild roller-coaster ride along a route carved over millennia by the middle Zambezi River.

The “Low Water” Rafting Season runs approximately from the middle of August to the middle of January depending upon the water level / rains each year. This can change as and when levels increase or decrease. Our low water trips depart from directly below Victoria Falls in the Boiling Pot. Note! At the end of the rafting trip, rafters are required to hike 200m out of the gorge, this can be challenging in the warmer months in the middle of the day. While you are not required to be an extreme athlete, the ability to do these 20-25 minute hikes is an indication of fitness levels required for this incredible river.

The Zambezi River in the Batoka Gorge was first navigated in 1981 and over the years the rapids were named – some fearsome in nature, others fearsome in name! There are also many ‘bonus’ rapids without names.
