• Each inflatable raft accommodates a maximum of eight people and is guided by a highly skilled and experienced oarsman, who is fully trained in First Aid 
• One can select either an" oar boat" [picture above] which is controlled and maneuvered by the guide without your assistance or a "paddle boat" (right) which requires the clients to actively assist the guide in maneuvering the raft through the rapids and the calm stretches with paddles
• Rafting is suitable for most clients. The ability to swim is not essential
• Age Restrictions: Min: 15 years. There is no maximum age limit
• You stand a very good chance of falling out but it's all part of the fun. 
• The river flow is of a drop and pool nature so there are quiet periods to relax, suntan and view the baboons, klipspringers and birdlife.( of particular interest are the Black Eagle and rare Taita Falcon) 
• At Victoria Falls the Zambezi River plummets into a basalt gorge which is over 100 meters deep at the Falls increasing to over 200 meters by the end of a full day raft trip
• Pick-ups from your lodge are pre-arranged. A cup of coffee/tea and biscuits at 08h00 where you meet all your fellow adventure seekers from around the world. If it is cold you can get a thermal vest. [Rare in the tropics] 
• An exhilarating day on the river begins with a walk down the 350 foot Batoka Gorge, where tourists gather round the senior oarsman for the morning safety talk and demonstrates safety procedures 
• Walk-In / Walk Out - The walk in and out of the gorge is steep and rocky. The walk out is hard and hot, but guides are there, lending a hand, or a tissue! It is straight up and takes at most about 20 minutes [record is 6 min's] orange juice is offered, on the way up and ice cold beer at the top
