Zimbabwe Excursions

White Water Rafting
Rafting down the mighty Zambezi is an experience like none other and is regarded as the world's greatest white water rafting adventure. River conditions are determined by seasonal predictable fluctuations in water levels. Low water season generally runs from August to January each year - this is when the Zambezi is at its very wildest. We're in high water from about February to July with a short "closed season" around April/May depending on the season's rains.

Kayaking
An experienced white water kayaker who steers the boat through the rapids acts as river guide. The kayaking trip is run in conjunction with the daily rafting trip for added safety.

River Boarding
The sport involves "surfing" the rapids on body boards accompanied by a qualified river guide. Enthusiastic boarders can stop at "play spots" along the way to surf, ride whirlies and "squirt" (best described as flying underwater). Swim the rapids and surf the waves, armed with nothing more than an oversized body board, wetsuit and flippers.

Bunji Jumping
111 metres of pure adrenaline rush! The bungi jump operates off the Victoria Falls Bridge and has a 100% safety record. Challenge the limits of the mind and test the edge of fear by leaping off the impressive bridge, with Vic Falls behind and the mighty Zambezi below.

Abseil, Gorge swing & Flying fox
These activities are operated on a spectacular site above a rapid. The abseil is 53 metres moving down the gorge wall backwards or clients can "rap jump" facing forward. The gorge swing entails throwing yourself off the edge of the cliff attached to a body harness and free falling for 50 metres before being swung out into the middle of the gorge. The jump ends with several pendulum swings before clients are lowered to the ground. At the bottom there is a track back to the top of the gorge. The flying fox is a cable slide high above the gorge and clients "fly" across, attached to a special body harness. They are then pulled back to the gorge so there is no walkout.

Jet boating
This exhilarating adventure on the Zambezi River is situated in the Batoka Gorge below the Falls. Powerful jet boats speed through rapids, rush past gorge walls and spin on the flat water. Each 6 m jet boat carries 11 passengers. There is no age restriction, but passengers must be at least 40kg.
