Zambezi Gorge

Listed under Canyons in Livingstone, Zimbabwe.

Zambezi Gorge is the name for the gaping cleft below thunderous Victoria Falls. There is not just one gorge here but a series of chasms carved out by the huge quantities of water coming over the falls. As well as the drama of seeing the world's largest (by volume) waterfall up close - you can get quite close on foot - visitors will see one of the largest concentrations of diverse wildlife in Africa, including hippos, elephants, lions, crocodiles, velvet monkeys and baboons.

Adventure and then some

The rafting company we went with was very helpful and fun. The experience was amazing. We went during the low flow, big rapid season. I have rafted a number of times in the US, and you would never be allowed to run rapids of this class in the US as an amateur. I highly suggest paying the extra for the helicopter ride out of the gorge. After the shooting the rapids, you do not feel like climbing out of a 700ft gorge, believe me. My husband and I climbed out and it is the one thing I will never forget, absolutely grueling.
