Due to the low water levels of the Zambezi, the low water season officially starts today (27 June 2019) in Livingstone in Zambia. This means that low water rafting tours, which include all rapids from #1 to #25, are available again. Livinstone Island, which is located in the middle of the Zambezi right on the edge of the Victoria Falls just before the water thunders down a 103 metre drop, also re-openes today (27 June 2019). Tours to Livingstone Island include the opportunity to swim in the famous Devil's Pool, a rock pool right on the very edge of the mighty Victoria Falls.
Low water rafting tours starting from the Zimbabwean side of the Zambezi River are expected to start from next week. We'll keep you posted!

Zambezi: Low water season to start in a couple of days (Zimbabwe & Zambia)
We just learned that the low water season at the mighty Zambezi River in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Livingstone (Zambia) is expected to open on 24 or 25 July 2013. During low water season the rafting adventure begins just below the falls at rapid #1 and takes you on a 26 km journey over 19 rapids. The river is a pool drop river, which means you will have sections of relatively calm water in between the rapids; a great time to take in the scenery around you. The biggest rapids on the Zambezi River are officially defined as Grade 5 by the British Canoe Union.
