Itinerary / Highlights

Day One
After meeting at Fawlty Towers in Livingstone, we will be transferred to “Zig Zag” for breakfast. After a full breakfast we will make our way to the boiling pot, directly beneath the Victoria Falls. Few people have the chance to venture into this region due to the inaccessibility. This involves a short portage to the top of rapid #1 and then a paddle across a large eddy to witness a sight you will never forget. Our guide will lead you down the river scouting where necessary and showing you the best playspots. We will have a light lunch on the river before making camp between rapid #10 and #11. Our guides will prepare a delicious evening meal.

Included: All meals

Day Two
After breakfast we will spend the day slowly making our way downstream, stopping to play to our hearts' content. A light lunch will be served on the river before making our way to the beach below rapid #21. Your guides will prepare sundowners and a three-course dinner while you relax and take in the magnificent scenery.

Included: All meals

Breakfast on the beach will be followed by our longest river day. We will cover approximately 24km today, running a variety of large and small rapids, such as Closed Season, Open Season, the Narrows and Lets Make a Deal.
