This is an amazing opportunity for you and your friends or colleagues to test your skills, stamina and fitness to conquer one of Africa’s most iconic rivers, home of the world famous Victoria Falls. You will be with a committed group of adventurous and committed wildlife lovers, using traditional dug out boats and inflatable rafts you will navigate 100kms of the river, camping on its banks at night and experiencing the spectacular wildlife of the river.
