Rafting Half Day Low Water

The Zambezi River is classified as a high volume, pool-drop river, i.e., there is little exposed rock either in the rapids or the pools below the rapids. The distance between rapids varies from 100 m to 2 km. The gorge itself is approximately 400 feet deep at the put-in point and 750 feet at the take out point and drops about 400 feet over the 24 km covered in the trip.

During low water, guests can do a full or half day trip. At the end of a full day or a half day trip, there is a lift out of the gorge.

The tour is inclusive of meals and drinks for the day.

Guests are welcome to do rafting ‘combos', such as raft and cruise combo, raft and jet boat combo, raft and heli out of gorge.  Riverboarding is also available.
