Days Off The River
Jet Boating On The Zambezi River
This is a unique and amazing adventure on the Zambezi River. Your entire trip takes about 3.5 hours and you'll be thrilled with a stunning jetboat ride through the Batoka Gorge for around 30 minutes. You'll be within inches of the basalt rock walls under the careful guidance of your jetboat driver wo has himself done thousands of trips on the river. There is a gondola to make for an easy lift into and out of the Gorge, so you can spend your time, enjoying the activity. The highlight for many apart from the stunning scenery are the "Hamilton Spins" when the jet boat goes from full speed into a spectacular 360 degree spin.. sort of like pulling off the dream kayak move!
Your Jetboat Trip
You'll be collected by our purpose built 4X4 truck and taken on the scenic drive out to the base station at the top of the gorge. Here you'll take the spectacular (and easy) gondola ride into the gorge. We can take up to 25 people in the gondola at once. You'll be outfitted with a PFD and you'll be given a full explanation of your trip by the driver of the boat. You are then off up the river in our powerful 700HP boat within inches of the basalt walls performing spins and navigating rapids with ease... well thats how the driver makes it look! After your 30 minute trip you will ride out of the gorge and be transported back to your lodge of backpackers.
