The Mighty Zambezi

A trip to Victoria Falls is not complete without a trip down the Mighty Zambezi river. At this time of year its in High Water and extremely powerful - therefore the boat of choice... White Water Rafting! The Zambezi is a mad river, full of large rapids (grade 5) which are just crying out to be ridden. Pete and I joinedA trip to Victoria Falls is not complete without a trip down the Mighty Zambezi river. At this time of year its in High Water and extremely powerful - therefore the boat of choice... White Water Rafting! The Zambezi is a mad river, full up with a group of others who were also in search of adventure on the rapids and booked in for a days rafting with some local guides.

I'd been rafting before in the French Alps; however that was quite tame and only a couple of people fell in... the Zambezi on the other hand is completely mental and took every opportunity to sallow us up, churn us around and then spit us out. We had two complete flips at rapids called Terminator 2 and Oblivion... which to our delight was captured on film.
