“Our visit to Victoria Falls was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing guides, Thuba on the Zimbabwe side and Mike on the Zambia side. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, everything felt easy, organised, and relaxed. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories, history, and fun facts that brought the whole experience to life. They guided us through immigration on both sides with no stress at all, and their friendly, down‑to‑earth personalities made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination.

Stanford was happy to stop for us to take photos and to point out animals as we travelled along. We arrived at the border and were escorted through the crossing where we then met our guide Cobra who was amazing! Our jeep safari was fantastic and we saw many animals including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and countless zebra and impala. Cobra was very knowledgeable and personable and helped us learn more about the National Park. Lunch which was provided was buffet style and was delicious.…”

Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls

11.Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 243 reviews · from $140

Start with hotel pickup, a light breakfast, and a safety briefing before hiking into the Zambezi Gorge. Paddle up to 14 miles through Class IV and V rapids with guides such as JB, Terence, Silent, or Pumba. Gear, lunch, drinks, and return transport are included, but the steep gorge hike is demanding.

“The whitewater rafting was great. JB and his crew were amazing (special shoutout to Liberty)… very safe, friendly and informative. Also incredibly patient. The climb down the gorge to put in and back up at the end is no joke. It’s a lot of climbing over rocks, steps made of branches and loose gravel. I’m in good shape and I do some hiking, but I found this very challenging, especially in water shoes. But the team was very encouraging and helpful and didn’t rush us, literally holding my hand through portions. The barbecue chicken and beer at the end of the climb were a nice payoff.”

Which was a little bit annoying but still not the end of the world. Once at devils pool the guides made us feel very safe and took amazing pictures/ videos. The rainbow and scenery was honestly a once in a life time experience.”

Spend about nine hours traveling from Victoria Falls into Botswana’s Chobe National Park for an open-air game drive, river cruise, and buffet lunch. Expect early pickup, border assistance, mineral water, professional guides, and excellent elephant sightings. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and the right travel documents.

“Our pick up and transfers were great. Our driver helped us get through the various borders as made our way to Chobe. We were offered bottled water and soft drinks throughout the day. With an experience like this, you're always at the mercy of mother nature. Regardless, our guides did their best to make it a great experience. For the safari drive portion, Cobra was great with checking in with us about our interests and spent extra time to make sure we got to see lions sighting. Lunch was buffet style at a lovely lodge along the river where the cruise safari launched. It seems like we were there at…”
