My expereince in the Zambezi .

Hola from Chile

With another friend from Chile we run the Zambezi in 1994, but we trained hard for it , first running rivers in Chile , like the famous BioBio between others. Once we arrive there, from South africa , by a wonderful trip by train crossing to Zimbawe , it was an unforgetable memory . The town of Victoria Falls , from where the ww trip starts , is in the middle of a National Park, that means , you walk 2 squares , and you can find easily elephants, buffalos, etc.. The river is gigantic , but the good things is that the lines are very wide , although the waves are huge.In Batoka Gorge, the rapis are also long , but in between them, there are log sections of flat water. Just be very careful with the water if you have to swim as it is very contaminated. The water temperature also is very warm . Drink alot of water as the weather conditions are very hot. Another thing I will never forget , the wooden handcraft...spectacular.

Nos vemos en el agua
