Zambia, home to Victoria Falls (which is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World) is a remarkably beautiful and diversified country. The residents of this country are very friendly and warm, which makes you feel right at home the moment you land in Livingstone, the cornerstone of adventure vacations in Zambia. This country claims of having the best white water rafting locations on earth, and also allows you to white water raft right underneath Victoria Falls.
The Zambezi is a well known white water river that has an excellent reputation, with over fifty thousand people coming every year to experience the adrenaline rush of rafting on this stretch of water. White water rafting on the Zambezi River also shows you the best scenery in Africa. With beautiful sunsets and stunning views of Victoria Falls at the start of your trip, you will always be in awe of the spectacular panoramas during your entire experience.
Each person's tour varies, but chances are that your days will be filled with rapids like "Oblivion" and "Stairway to Heaven", and your nights with camping on pristine white sandy beaches with a drink in your hand and taking in the sounds of the African wildlife, which are extremely high. Many tour operators offer several different travel packages. However, almost all of these packages include warm white water, beautiful beaches for camping, luxurious lodges, and helicopter rides on the way back. In a country that boasts this much adventure, you're likely to start having fun the moment you step onto the tarmac.
The trip can either be for a couple of days, which will be fully catered for you, or just day trips that are relatively faster and cheaper. You can choose between a completely luxurious trip where every meal is gourmet-standard, to a basic package where meals are not included. Each package is customized according to your needs and prior experience in white water rafting.
Longer trips comprising of seven days or more also offer choice to rest along the route, where you get accommodation in luxurious lodges with five-star facilities. During this break you can not only freshen up, change and relax, but can also make use of the opportunity to take in a wildlife safari on a day off from the rapids. These trips will obviously cost you more than your regular two- or three-day white water rafting trips, but this in reality is worth the money, especially if you want to go on a safari but are not interested in booking two separate trips for both activities.
The tour operator will inform you of the meals you will be supplied with prior to your arrival. But, in most cases drinking water along with breakfast is offered. The majority of operators also offer lunch. It is suggested to have a credit card with you for any unplanned purchases you may come across on certain stop points on your way to your destination. During the entire trip, tour operators also take pictures of your experience, which you can purchase from them afterwards.
As this type of holiday requires you to be fit and healthy throughout your stay, it is highly recommended that you get all your vaccinations, as well as a fitness test (or approval from your doctor) prior to participating in these activities. Most tour operators do not allow people under the age of fifteen to participate in these activities but as there is no upper age limit, the tour operators require everyone participating in the activities to be reasonably healthy and fit.
Despite the sum of money you spend on your Zambian vacation, the memory of white water rafting on some of the most incredible stretches of water will forever remain with you, together with the stunning sceneries you will come across during your trip. - 16955
