Full Day Zambezi White Water Rafting

owed by a scenic drive to the rafting base. There, you’ll meet your professional rafting guides, receive a full safety briefing, and be fitted with high-quality rafting gear. Next, you’ll take a guided hike down the steep Batoka Gorge to the river’s edge, where your rafting adventure begins. Over the next few hours, you’ll paddle 30–32 km along the Zambezi River, navigating some of the world’s most famous Grade 3–5 rapids—like “The Stairway to Heaven,” “Oblivion,” “Washing Machine,” and more. You’ll enjoy short breaks on calm stretches of water to soak in the spectacular gorge scenery and catch your breath. A light riverside lunch is served mid-way through the trip, giving you time to relax before hitting the final set of rapids. After your rafting journey, you’ll hike out of the gorge (a physically demanding but rewarding climb). Cold drinks and transport back to your hotel will be waiting for you at the top. Expect to return to Livingstone in the late afternoon. This full-day experience blends adventure, nature, and unbeatable views into one of Africa’s most thrilling river expeditions.
