One-day Rafting Options
The ONE-DAY trip runs year round subject to river levels and operates from both sides of the Zambezi River.
- High Water run - approximately 15 January to 14 July (stopping in between if river too high)
- Low Water run - approximately 15 July to 14 January.
The Low Water Rafting run on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River is generally more popular because the launch is higher upstream and offers an incredible view of the Victoria Falls from the Boiling Pot. Passports are required to cross the border.
Group size required to book a one day rafting trip:
2 pax minimum. Large groups on request.
Food and Drinks:
Tea and coffee is supplied at the meeting point prior to departure. On the river each raft carries water and orange cordial. A generous lunch is provided at a picturesque spot on the banks of the river. At the top of the Gorge, at the end of the trip, complimentary soft drinks, cordials and beers are enjoyed.
