White Water Rafting Victoria Falls — Attraction in Victoria Falls Municipality

Highly recommended with Shearwater! We had a fantastic daytrip with Chris and his crew and if I was not completely sore today, I would book another tour straight away. This tour is for you, if you enjoy physical activity!!, lots of wild water, hiking and most of all spending time in untouched nature with local professionals!

We were a group of 6 friends and were accompanied in the raft by Chris, our extremely experienced tour leader, and 2 highly motivated apprentice. Furthermore, 1 safety guard paddled ahead in a kajak and we were accompanied by another kajak to take photos and videos. Best team! We felt safe at any time and enjoyed the action and nature to the fullest.

The day starts with a team introduction and detailed safety briefing. Afterwards we were transferred to the NP, received our gear under supervision of a team member regarding the correct fitting and started the descent into the gorge. It’s several flights of steep metal ladders, however you are constantly reminded by the team to not rush. Before entering the boat, another team member checks the proper fitting of lifewest and helmet again, before supporting you to get into the raft. Before approaching the first rapid, we trained and performed all possible commandos until our tour leader Chris was satisfied. Afterwards the fun began! We were on the water for roughly 4 hours, enjoying 19 official rapids (Level 1-5) , several freebies and 3 swimming stops. Drinking water was supplied and Chris checked in regularly how we were doing.

Before the tour ended we watched another raft flipping and were reminded of the force of nature and how important great teamwork is in the raft. Of course we rushed to help and everyone was „rescued“ in a minimum of time.

The fun doesn’t end with the last rapid though, we still had the steep ascent (700feet) back up to the top of the gorge ahead of us. It’s rough terrain. We were asked to carry our gear back up, however the team offered a hand at any time. Most important to Chris and his team, everyone was supposed to get back up safely. We had a 60year old lady conquering the tour with ease and another 59year old lady „suffering“: a decent level of fitness will be helpful. Act responsible and be true to yourself before booking this tour.

Up on top a delicious, homecooked lunch (dietary requirements are considered) and cold drinks were waiting for us and everyone was proud and happy to have experienced this unforgettable adventure at Victoria Falls.

THANK YOU...

One of the most memorable events of my life and best example of our planet's beauty. If you have a bucket list, this should be one of your first entries along with Victoria Falls! My tip - get shoes/sandals that attach very, very well indeed to your feet because you're bound to lose...

Awesome! Well run with knowledgeable guides and a river that will...
