White Water Rafting - Victoria Falls  

White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River below the Victoria Falls has been classified by the British Canoe Union as Grade 5 - "extremely difficult, long and violent rapids, steep gradients, big drops and pressure areas". This is a high volume, pool-drop river - little exposed rock either in the rapids or in the pools below the rapids. The Zambezi White Water Rafting is internationally acclaimed as being the wildest in the world. Rafting is conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below the Victoria Falls. Options include one and a half day rafting trips or rafting expeditions.   The main rafting operations in Victoria Falls are  Shearwater Adventures  (operating from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe) Safari Par Excellence (in Zimbabwe and Zambia - the latter departure in low water season gives you access to the Boiling Pot),  Adrift/Kandahar (a relatively small outfit offering very personalised trips)
