THE ZAMBEZI RIVER rises in Northern Zambia near Kalene Hills and flows Southwest into Angola, back to Zambia, south through the Barotse Plain into the Caprivi Swamps, where it is joined by the Chobe River (Botswana). It then flows east to form the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the world-famous Victoria Falls. Immediately after the Victoria Falls, it transforms into a raging expanse of turbulent water—world-class rapids, waterfalls and gushing shoots—forming the most incredible whitewater playground in the world! Whitewater enthusiasts from all over the world come every year to tackle the Zambezi. Annual championships and tournaments are held. Yet most people that take on the challenge of the raging river, are travelers, simply looking for something to add a little "spice" to their vacation.

Equipment of the New Millennium:

The equipment we use is genuinely the best. Our AIRE inflatables have a history of being the most durable and reliable rafts. They are a 15.8 ft stable, yet very maneuverable raft. We have found them to be fast and are paddled with ease. This sporty raft can be very active, but can also be maneuvered swiftly into the safest position when necessary.

Our client's buoyancy life jackets are of "America's Cup" standard. A bright orange jacket with collar-pillow and additional buoyancy for maximum safety.

The Protech helmets protect without obscuring ones vision and fit without being uncomfortable. These helmets are especially designed for white water sports.

During the cooler and wet months we provide Patagonia Gore-Tex paddle jackets which will secure continued body warmth and this adds to an enjoyable and safer day!

Our tailor-made 4x4 Landrovers, Defender Tdi 130's, are each designed to carry 14 clients comfortably and efficiently, without getting stuck on those real African bush trails.
