The gorge offers breathtaking scenery, with towering cliffs rising steeply around you, creating a striking contrast between tranquility and adrenaline-fueled excitement. Depending on the season, guests can select a half-day or full-day rafting experience, with water levels determining the intensity of the rapids. Prior to departure, you will be picked up from your hotel, provided with life jackets, helmets, and paddles if desired, and given a full safety briefing. The adventure begins with a steep descent into the gorge, followed by practice sessions to familiarize yourself with the river and prepare for the challenges ahead.

After conquering the rapids, guests will climb back out of the gorge, requiring a reasonable level of fitness, and are rewarded at the top with cold drinks, a delicious riverside meal, and a scenic drive back. This unforgettable experience perfectly combines adrenaline, natural splendor, and a sense of accomplishment, leaving every guest with lasting memories of Zimbabwe’s most iconic river adventure.
