Probably almost as famous as our breath-taking wonder of the world is the white-water rafting. The Zambezi river is rated as the best one day white-water rafting in the world and it definitely lives up to its reputation. Spend the day trying to defeat the grade 3-5 rapids that make up the river in the beautiful Batoka Gorge. Be aware that the river is split into a high- water run and a low-water run depending on the water level, and generally closes in March/April when the river gets too high. |

For those who feel that the thrill of trying to stay in a raft is not good enough for them, this is definitely the way to go. Running the rapids of the Zambezi River on a boogie-board and making the grade 5 rapids work for you is an adventure not to be missed.

For those with limited time , you can do a half-day or full-day canoe trip.
