If white water rafting at Victoria Falls feels a bit too intense, but your adventurous side still craves a thrilling Zambezi River experience, we have the perfect alternative. During the low water season, taking a swim beneath the iconic Victoria Falls is an unforgettable activity. Hike down into the Gorge and raft to the base of the Falls, where you can swim below the towering rockface with cascading water all around you — a once-in-a-lifetime experience under one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

For those who prefer a more relaxed adventure, the Livingstone Drift and River Float offer a tranquil way to explore the Zambezi River above the Falls. It’s perfect for couples, families, and groups looking to unwind. Spend the afternoon drifting on an inflatable raft through quiet channels, spotting birdlife and river wildlife, and enjoying a refreshing drink as you soak in the stunning African scenery — a perfect ending to a beautiful day.

The Livingstone Drift and River Float are available year-round, and the swim under Victoria Falls can be enjoyed during the low water season from August to December, depending on water levels.
