Considered one of the best stretches of commercially run river in the world, Batoka Gorge provides one of the most intense sensory thrills imaginable. Its twenty three white-water rapids and striking scenery deep within the sheer black cliffs afford the adrenaline junkie a wild roller coaster ride along a route carved over millennia by the Great Zambezi.
The rapids are run in large rubber rafts, launched from just below the Falls. You can do a half day trip, full day or two day.
When the river is high, March - July, only the last 13 rapids can be done. As the water subsides, from June to February, all 23 are navigable.
If you are keen for the ultimate thrill then a multi-day trip along the Zambezi is it!
After a full day of rafting, you'll set up camp in the Batoka Gorge and listen as the wildlife, gaze into the campfire and a down a few cold drinks before you settle in for the night. Rise to a big breakfast, and the crazy adventure starts again! Perfect for a group (4+ persons) travelling together.
Overnight camps are on sandy beaches on the river's edge deep in the gorge.
