LIVINGSTONE WHITE WATER RAFTING OPTIONS

Victoria Falls / Livingstone Whitewater Rafting has two different seasons. This is due to the water level of the Zambezi River. Low-water rafting commences between the months of August and December. These are the best times of year to raft as you begin your journey from the boiling pot which is situated directly below the Victoria Falls. As the water level drops, the rapids become more intense. During the low water season, you will negotiate rapids numbers 1 to 19. Many of these rapids are Grade 5.

High Water Rafting  (Jan – Feb & June – July)
As the water level rises, high-water rafting begins. As the water is gushing down the Victoria Falls so intensely during these months it is impossible to start at rapid number 1. The high-water rafting begins 10 km downstream of the Victoria Falls at rapid number 11 and will finish at rapid number 23.
