Generally, visits to Zambia can be any time of the year. There are a lot of all-year round and seasonal activities. Visits to the Victoria Falls are all year round but the Falls have two faces. During the high-water season from April to July/August, the Falls are full with spectacular views. During the low season, from September to March, there are just a few trickles of water to dry. It is also nice to see the rock features of the gorge and how deep it is. In Zambia we have about 17 falls. Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The main tourist attractions are:

• The Victoria Falls
• White Water Rafting
• The Devil’s Pool (Livingstone Island)
• Game Drives and Rhino Walks in the Mosi oa Tunya Park
• Sunset Boat Cruises on the Zambezi River
• Helicopter Flights over the Victoria Falls
• Chobe Day Trip in Botswana
• Bridge Activities: Bunjee Jump, Bridge Slide, and Bridge swing

White Water Rafting

This is another spectacular activity to fully experience the Zambezi River. Not done when water levels are too high from April to June. Rafting opens up on rapids slowly as water levels drop and this time it is low water season somewhere from late August/ September to March.

Arguably the finest one-day white water rafting trip on the planet, on one of Africa’s iconic rivers. Rafting the Zambezi River in the Batoka Gorge offers splendid isolation, breathtaking scenery, the opportunity to forget the daily grind, be physically active, and reconnect with nature at an almost atavistic level.

Starting at the headwaters of the “Middle Batoka Gorge”, directly below “The Victoria Falls”. Rafting the Zambezi river has been an outdoor adventure renowned “must do,” since the first descent in 1981.

But is it safe? (Because it is exceptionally good fun).

The origins of the name “Zambezi” are contentious, the modern use of the word by the “Kaonde” people of North-Western Zambia is “Great River”. While the English derivative of the name itself is thought to have come from the same general area, from the “Lunda” people’s word “Kasambambezi,” ominously translated as “those that know how to swim.”

Rafting the Zambezi is an extreme outdoor adventure expedition. Rafting any river carries a level of inherent risk that must be acknowledged.

In order to classify the level of river difficulty, the worldwide rafting fraternity uses a basic numbered system from Class-I to Class-V. With Class-V being the highest level of commercially available rafting. While definitely not infallible and subject to serious downright heated debate. The system does allow a base level of measure, with regard to difficulty and what to expect.

The class of a rapid has no bearing on the amount of “fun” you can have on it, and the Zambezi is full of punchy Class-III’s that will have you yelling for more.

Devil’s Pool (Livingstone Island)

Famous for its pool that is just by the lip of the Victoria Falls where people are able to swim. This is the place where David Livingstone first stood to view the Victoria Falls and it is on this Island where he named the Victoria Falls After Queen Victoria in 1855, Changing it from Mosi oa Tunya (a local name that means the smoke That Thunders) to Victoria Falls.

The best time to visit the Island is between June to March depending on the water levels. When water levels are high, the Angels Pool is accessible to swim and in low water, the Devil’s Pool is also available for swimming. There are three categories of offers:

• Morning Breeze – Light breakfast on the Island
• Lunch               –           Three course meal on the Island
• High Team       –           Snacks and drinks, tea, coffee

They include swimming, excluding transfers.

Helicopter Flights over the Falls

This is another exciting activity that allows you to have a spectacular view of the whole entire falls from the air. There are 15 minutes and 30 minutes flights. We share the falls with Zimbabwe, the flight over the falls allows us to see both sides. The 30 minutes will fly over the falls and part of the mosi oa tunya game park. If some people do not manage to go to Zimbabwe to view the falls due to some reasons, the Helicopter flight or devil’s pool are alternatives.

Mukuni Village Tour

Mukuni Village is a Royal village that was founded around the 13th Century. It is home to about 7,000 Leya people. The chief has invited visitors into his village to get a glimpse of how his people have lived for generations and to learn a little about their traditional customs and beliefs. The Chief’s guides and the people of the village are more than happy to show visitors their huts and take you inside, explain how they are built and decorated, introduce you to various craftsmen and women at work and ask you to taste some traditional foods and beer. This is a working village, not a purpose-built tourist attraction, and it is a privilege to be welcomed into their lifestyle.

Chobe Day Trip (Botswana)

Chobe day trips are very popular amongst travelers and visitors. Chobe National Park is one of the most pristine settings in Botswana. The park overlooks the Chobe River and offers spectacular views over the floodplains. Of course, joining one of the safaris or boat trips is the perfect opportunity to sit back and experience the amazing landscape and local wildlife.

What makes the Chobe unique is the floodplains where a large concentration of browsing and grazing animals can be seen. The rest of the Chobe park will be dry towards the end of the year, but the Chobe floodplains remain lush and green.

A large concentration of antelopes and buffalo can be found roaming this area. The lion pride follows these animals and has territories within the Chobe park. The layout of the park offers excellent river drives and floodplain views.
