The challenge

Water sports enthusiasts consider the Zambezi one of the biggest white-water rivers in the world! Beneath the mist of the stunning Victoria Falls, deep in the Batoka Gorge, is one of the most dramatic places in the world to start a white-water rafting trip.

From the very first rapid encountered, you have embarked on a river journey with some of the most exhilarating white-water and spectacular scenery.

Exceptionally challenging, the Zambezi Blast is a rafting expedition that will take you through some of the worlds biggest commercially-run rapids. Experience the best white-water on the planet, amazing sandy beaches and a helicopter flight through the Batoka Gorge and over Victoria Falls.
