#15605 Running the Zambezi River Below Victoria Falls in Zambia

With names like the Devil’s Toilet Bowl, the Gnashing Jaws of Death, and Oblivion, it’s clear the Zambezi River rapids below Victoria Falls aren’t for the faint of heart. The rapids here are among the wildest in the world—yet, thanks to the deep water and lack of mid-stream rocks—they’re also among the safest. You’ll find plenty of operators offering half and full-day excursions, with well-trained guides and the best safety gear on hand. You’re almost guaranteed to flip at some point, but injuries are rare. Shooting the Zambezi is an adrenaline rush like few others. You’ll emerge at the other end soaked but exhilarated.
