What to expect

Arrival Day

Guests should be in Victoria Falls Village at least one day before the first day of the raft trip as pre-departure briefings are held one day prior. This will give you a chance to meet your raft guides, discuss the adventure that lies ahead of you, ask any last minute questions and also get things like dry bags and sleeping bags. Guests should breakfast at their hotel prior to pick up at 9 am when they will be driven to our office where the river safety briefing is held. The first part of any rafting experience is very much a learning exercise followed by Swimming Under The Spry Of The Victoria Falls, however today there is no gradual build up; Depending on the water level this 26km stretch on day one is by far the wildest section of river that will be covered.This trip including many class 4 and 5 rapids. Some of the rapids on day one include Morning Glory, Stairway to Heaven, Land of The Giants, and The Devil's Toilet Bowl . We will reach our beach campsite at rapid #21 at about 4 pm.

Day 2, 3 & 4 Rafting

We rise as the sun illuminates the towering walls above, to the smell of bacon and eggs on the fire. Then, with all the equipment once more stowed securely for the voyage down stream, and a long day ahead of us , we cast off into a world of exhilarating action and scenes of remarkable beauty. We will have about 3 portaging around Moemba Falls, Dam Site Falls & Deep Throat rapid.

We have some nice rapids including Ghost rider, the biggest commercially run-able roller coaster wave train in the World.

Day 5 Rafting

The river really changes character. Basalt rocks give way to grassy banks and the grunts of vocal hippopotamus carry across the water. Our rafts drift past islands in the river, havens for Egyptian Geese and basking crocodiles. After a couple of hours, we rendezvous with our vehicles near the Matetsi River mouth. After packing up and deflating the rafts we head back to Victoria Falls by road, having lunch on route. The journey back takes about 3 hours. After taking time out to unpack and freshen up, a group dinner and party is always a favorite option.

I did a 5 day trip with Shockwave rafting in November, and it was an amazing experience. The first day was an exciting rapid filled day with a very talented guide. We had an older couple on the boat and the guide was able to keep them safe while at the same time giving us all an exciting day. As ...

I and my x2 teenage girls undertook the 5 day rafting tour in Aug 23. All communication with Shockwave prior to the trip was good, with a rapid response to emails, and they were willing to change the departure date of the trip (requested well in advance!) to fit our schedule. There were 8 on our ...

This was absolutely what I was hoping for when I booked. Five days of rafting - 3 with some serious rapids and two more of scenery and camaraderie. An excellent crew made for an amazing time on the river. Tap's knowledge of the river and how to read the rapids was obvious from the beginning of...
