Kayak School
3 day clinic
Whether you're a total beginner or have done a little bit of kayaking before and would like some expert tuition on one of the best rivers in the world then this kayak clinic is for you! In three days we can help you to master some of the fundamentals of kayaking, and you'll surprise yourself with how much you can learn in only a few days! This trip can also be extended by a day or more if you've got a more time to brush up your kayaking skills on the Zambezi river.
Day 1
Day one of your kayak school starts with a visit to the pool. Our top class coaches will teach you the fundamentals of paddling, from how to hold your paddle right through to nailing your first eskimo roll. This afternoon we head down to rapid number 6 to get our first taste of the Zambezi. Here we have a big eddy where you can practice newly learnt paddle strokes and your roll before running your first white water rapid on the Zambezi river!
Included: Lunch.
Day 2
This morning we'll head down into the gorge at rapid 21. Throughout the day you'll receive expert tuition on how to navigate through the rapids. We'll make our way through to rapid 25, learning how to "eddy in" and "eddy out", cross the river and make use of all the features on the river.
Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3
Today we step it up a notch, starting at rapid number 10 and running all the way through to 25. Here we'll tackle some of the Zambezi's famous rapids, all under the watchful eye of our expert guides. You've got plenty of options on this day, we normally have a mixture of people in inflatable kayaks as well as the hard shells you were paddling earlier in the trip. So if you're not 100% comfortable in your kayak yet then running this amazing section of white water is just as fun in a ducky!
Included: Breakfast and Lunch
