Check Another One off the Bucket List
The Zambezi River below Victoria Falls is like Mecca to whitewater enthusiasts. It is without argument the best one day commercial rafting trip in the world. We are here at the perfect time of year when all 26 rapids can be run. Higher water makes this impossible at other times as the volume of water would kill you. You have to be 15 years old to run it. Apparently they have chosen not to set an upper age limit. Perhaps they should.

We also managed to get hold of a mate from Varsity – Sean Edington – who runs the photo and video company for Safari Par Excellence, which is the company we had booked all our activities through. It looked like we were set for a few days of ...
Zipping thru Zim(babwe)
... our lives away, so to speak. Ten minutes in a open air truck and we were at the site to get lifejackets, helmets and paddles. With all in tow we then had to get 250m down the gorge via steep narrow metal stairs followed by a short hike along the river to the launch site. Then the fun began!
We traveled through 19 rapids but walked around one as it was to dangerous. The rapids ranged from a class 3 to class 5. In some spots we had a choice of ...
