The Zambezi: a.k.a. 'the no.1 playboating river...'

THE ZAMBEZI has recently stolen the show in regards to becoming the river everyone is talking about. It is only until you have spent time paddling the river and relaxing in the area that it will become apparent what all the rage is about - the Zambezi never fails to impress.

The high volume, pool drop nature of this river lends itself well to a safe, stress-free trip. the Zambezi has to be the cream of international paddling destinations, with it's combination of predictable good weather, warm water, a community of boaters, easy river access and porter based put in's & take out's. The water level is ever changing and always surprises you with variety of lines, holes, waves and cool play features. Along with the culture, the history and natural beauty of the area, the Zambezi river is 'UNMISSABLE'

Suitable for intermediate and advanced paddlers in all types of craft, the Zambezi offers enormous rapids, over-sized holes, monster wave trains, glassy face surf spots, powerful eddy lines and huge sucking boils. And of course, not forgetting the infamous rapid#11 tubing wave! Bring your most radical kayak and expect to not only witness, but achieve some unbelievable moves.

The Zambezi for some brings to mind BIG Class V rapids, evil pourovers, big holes to be surfed in - out of control - Partially true, but realistically, the Zambezi is about playing hard, enjoying the humour and soaking in the sun, yeah baby.
