Trip Summary

The Zambezi River is justifiably one of the most famous sections of white water in the world. The kayaking is located in the Batoka Gorge, directly below Victoria Falls - one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Whether you are a confident grade 3+ paddler and it's your first time out of the UK or you are looking to hone those big volume down river and play techniques, the Zambezi has amazing white water to help you improve.

The two week trip is run by world class kayakers and coaches who are out there loving it and living it. Their passion for the sport, technical expertise and in depth knowledge of the Zambezi River will help maximise your progression.

Included in the trip is a raft supported four day trip through the gorge, taking us 60km downstream to enjoy rarely run sections of the Zambezi. The spectacular scenery and an African sunset, whilst camping on the sandy riverside beaches at the base of the gorge tops off perfectly the full day of warm water paddling.

Upon return from the multi-day trip we will go on a sunset safari boat cruise on the Upper Zambezi - spectacular wildlife, good food and a free bar to take advantage of as you see fit!

To complete the African experience the trip includes a full day's safari in the Chobe National Park near to the Zambezi. Forget National Geographic, seeing the huge animals living in their natural environment is an experience that will stick with you for a lifetime.
