2:
Wake
up at around 7h30am. Tea, coffee, full English breakfast and
lunch for the day will have to be prepared, followed by the

Today’s
rafting section will take you from rapid #21 to the rapid called
« Lower Moemba » (25 km), The Zambezi will offer
on this section some more challenging grade 5 rapids like, «
Open Season », « Narrows 1 and 2 », «
Chimamba falls » and « Upper Moemba ». But
progressively, as you drift downstream, the tranquil pools in
between the rapids will become longer, giving you more time
to enjoy the splendour of the Batoka gorge.
We
will have lunch at mid-day on the side of the river.
We
will take out below rapid Upper Moemba and start our ascent
to the top of the gorge, where a magnificent view will be waiting.
