White-water rafting, Falls, Zimbabwe

Displayed: times.

The ultimate African adventure. One of the major tourist attractions of the Falls, commercial white-water rafting started about 10 years ago. Today several companies are offering these adventure-filled packages to tourists. This activity takes place below the Falls and the white water section of the Zambezi extends for just over 20 km, hurtling the rubber boats through 19 gorges bordered by sheer cliffs of up to 700 ft high. This adventure is regarded as a Grade 5 "run" (grade six is regarded as "non-runnable"). These rafting excursions are conducted from July to March. Those wishing to take it in their stride can opt for a 3-day white-water canoeing trail stretching along 65 km of the Zambezi, from the Botswana border to the Victoria Falls. Irrespective of the kind of white-water adventure one chooses, safety is of major concern. Each rafting trip is preceded by a safety talk during which the guide instructs his passengers on the importance of safety helmets, high-flotation life jackets and other equipment, and demonstrates safety procedures.
