Whitewater Rafting On The Zambezi River From Victoria Falls

This was such a fun experience! I felt like I was in safe hands with the Shearwater team. Everything was explained very clearly - both on land and again once we took to the water. The hike into and out of the gorge was challenging but also exciting - a reasonable fitness level is required for this.

We were ask to write a review. So here we go: Rafting itself was fun, scenery is stunning and our safety kayak person was amazing. BUT: sexist comments from the tour guide and we only got 0,5 liter water for the whole day… we were told not bring our own water bottles and left them behind. So be prepared to be dehydrated by the time you have to hike up back the canyon! One team member had a really really hard time to make it back up. Plus: We were also told that our shoes we needed for the walk down and up would be put in a dry bag, but it was not provided. So travelling only with flip flops now as there is no chance in rain season for the shoes to dry in a decent time. Some people had their flight next day, so not very nice situation for them with soaking wet shoes either. A lot of little things that could be solved easily in terms of communication and organization.

Thank you Shearwatwr for one off the most incredible experiences my daughter and I will never forget. Special thanks to Zee and M for taking such good care off us in the water and back up the gorge.

It was lot's of fun, good hard work, with the guides and information they gave being exceptional and safety a top priority.

A thrilling experience whilst always feeling in the safe hands of the Shearwater team who were cognisant of the varying confidence levels in the boat

This was the penultimate adventure for our family trip. I was initially concerned that my wife and younger daughter may find the experience scary. The Shearwater guides were truly remarkable safety was such a big focus and they made our our experience so fun if you visiting Vic Falls this is an experience not to be left out. Yes, the hike in and out I’m not easy but definitely worthwhile.

I can highly recommend the Whitewater Rafting with Shearwater Victoria Falls! It is such an exciting experience and the view in the gorge is just epic! Captain Wilson and the others are doing such a great job! Thank you very much for this awesome experience of a life time!

The rafting experience was no better or no worse than other whitewater rafting I have undertaken: It was exciting and wet. The scenery from the raft in the Zambezi River was beautiful and amazing and the Shearwater crew was friendly and extremely helpful. However, the huge drawback to the experience was getting down to and up from the river. The gorge is around 450 feet deep and the slope of the land to the river is very steep. The descending and ascending trails are primitive and difficult. The skill and energy required to deal with these trails takes away from the rafting experience itself. I believe only young, athletic, adventurous people should engage in this experience.

"Absolutely incredible experience! The rafting adventure was hands down the best and most exciting activity I’ve ever done. The adrenaline rush, the stunning scenery, and the professional shearwater guides made it unforgettable. My legs are still shaking just thinking about it! If you’re looking for a thrilling and well-organized adventure, this is it. Highly recommend!" Chris and team you are the best.!

Thrilling & exciting moment! Shoutout to MQ and Shearwaters for an unforgettable experience!", i really enjoyed a lot

Our Zambezi white-water rafting experience was simply outstanding from the beginning to the end. Our guides were experienced professionals. Shearwater runs a very good operation and I highly recommend them. A big thank you to our amazing guides Wilson and Makesh, and of course all the others behind the scenes!

Cancelled do to too much water. I have rafted in a lot worse so there was no need to cancel. Other companies did still raft

To do a level 5 white water rafting was great, has been waiting to do this rafting on Zambezi river for more that 3 years, joined up with a German group. even with the water level very low in Dec 2019 it was still an experience i will never forget. This is a must do if you are in the area, We flipped a few times and safety comes first with this company, lots of rescue kayaks around to pick you up if you fall out. No need to worry they look good after you just pay attention to their instructions.

Wow! what an adventure! My wife and I did the white water rafting on the Zambezi with Shearwater. It was low water season and there were more rapids available. It was truling amazing, from swimming in the warm Zambezi water, working as a group and navigating the rapids and chilling on the calm stretches while you take in the amazing view. You have to do this to really appreciate the mighty Zambezi and it's beautiful scenery. Our rafting guide JB was a Champion, very experienced, funny and a chilled out guy. Ended it off with a tough hike up the gorge and a rewarding meal and beer! 5 stars to Shearwater. Note: you need to be fairly fit to do this, especially the hike at the end of the rafting.

Rafting on the Zambezi River was absolutely incredible. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and funny, and they make sure you have the time of your life. Totally worth every dollar spent!

Loved paddling down the river with excellent guide, Steve. You don't have to flip over!! But he did let people ride over some of the easier rapids hanging on to the boat in the water by choice. The water moves differently than any other river I have been on, with waves coming from the sides and meeting in the middle rather than being caused by the rocks below. The river was middling high so we only went from rapid #11 to #24. This took 2 hours. When it is lower they can walk around #9, but at this time there is no dry passage. When it is higher, it is too dangerous. NOTE: difficult hike in and out of the gorge. It took me an hour to get up to the vehicle to take us back to town; stopping to breathe often and my legs still ache three days later. Also no towels and no changing rooms. Don't bother to bring dry things. The vehicle taking you back to town is open and you will dry in the air.

<p>Absolutely brilliant trip with Gideon and the team. We were well looked after and it is value for money! Be aware that the gorge climb is pretty steep but such an amazing time going through the rapids. Well worth it!</p>

<p>The best and most challenging activity I have ever done in my life. Highly recommend this to anyone. Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Please note, that unless you are physically fit, I would not attempt this. It is demanding.</p>
