Day One
Last night, your trip leader will have visited you at your hotel and passed out some drybags for your trip and given you a trip rundown. This morning, the action begins. You'll be collected from your hotel at around 8am. We drive to the river and you'll be given a comprehensive safety talk and instructions on how to paddle by your guide. We paddle across Rapid 1 and carry the rafts up into the "Boiling Pot" where we enjoy our lunch beneath one of the Seven Naural Wonders Of The World. Todays rapids include Stairway to Heaven, The Devils Toilet Bowl and the Midnight Diner, before we reach our camp for the night at the Songwe River. Enjoy a stunning meal under the stars and your first night camping out.
Included: Lunch and Dinner but not alcohol
Day Two
After a filling breakfast, we'll load the gear raft and paddle rafts and spend our day exploring the river. Traditionally, depending on water levels, we'll stop and watch the day trippers go through "Double Trouble or Oblivion" whilst we eat our lunch. Better than any TV show! Tonight sees us camp at Bobo Camp in a stunning part of the gorge where fish eagles are often seen. Ice cold beers and drinks will be on offer at camp along with a braai (barbeque). Set your tent up, or fall asleep on the beach beneath the stars.
Included: All Meals but not alcohol
Day Three
Some of the Zambezi's best rapids are featured today. Open Season, The Narrows, Chamamba and Upper Moemba are just a few. As the gorge opens up today a little, we may get the chance to glimpse at some wildlife, such as crocodiles and klipspringers plus a vast array of birdlife. As we reach camp, we'll break our the drinks and snacks and sample a Gin and Tonic whilst overlooking the stunning Lower Moemba Falls. This camp is a remote gem!
Included: All meals but not alcohol
Day Four
After breakfast, we'll portage our empty boats over Lower Moemba Falls. This is a fast and simple process and we'll run several more rapids until we reach Chabango falls, the proposed site for the Batoka Dam. (presently not going ahead) From here we paddle down to Ghostrider, the largest of all the rapids on the Zambezi River. After your thrilling ride through this rapid, you'll be flown back to Livingstone by helicopter and transferred back to your hotel.
Included: Breakfast and Lunch
