Written by Pori Africa local travel teamReviewed for Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana travel planning

What is the quick answer?

The Zambezi below Victoria Falls offers some of the most thrilling white water rafting on the planet. Pori Africa covers this topic for travellers planning Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana journeys from Victoria Falls.

The Batoka Gorge, carved by the Zambezi below Victoria Falls, is home to some of the most challenging white water rafting in the world. With over 20 major rapids ranging from Grade III to Grade V, this stretch of river is legendary among adventure travellers. The gorge walls rise 200 metres on either side, the water is a deep emerald green, and the sequence of rapids is relentless. Rafting operates year-round but the experience changes dramatically by season: low water (August–December) means bigger drops and more technical rapids, while high water (February–July) produces faster, more continuous flows with fewer exposed rocks.
