Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls

GREAT ACTIVITY — but very physically demanding lol. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the top of the canyon. We took our gear (PFD, helmet and paddle) and started to go down the hill (very steep, hard on the legs but overall not too bad, being moderately fit is more than enough). Quick security class before going in the raft and a second one once in the raft. The rapids were really fun and we got to swim in a bunch of them as well. We had brakes for sunscreen or water if we were thirsty and overall a GREAT activity to do (the view is also so beautiful). NOW, going UP the canyon back to the top — I’ve never struggled so hard, it is very physically demanding HOWEVERRR, the crew was more than amazing. They went to our pace, kept reminding us that we could take all the time we needed, as many breaks as we wanted to. They took our gear when we were too tired, they sent people from the top with cold water and sodas to boost our energy, they were extreeemely patient and caring, they really made sure we were okay and didn’t feel rushed at ALL. Mind you, I went with my father and the both of us had a pretty nasty cough — some people from our group said it was “challenging” yet they climbed pretty easily. Once you’re at the top, we had a super tasty barbecue and talked with the whole crew who were super friendly. OVERALL : would recommend to anyone I met, this was the highlight of our trip but just keep in mind that the hike up can be very demanding (I still had fun !! It just took me by surprise!).
