The Zambezi fluctuates
metres depending on the time of year. May to July are known as the
high water season so the rapids are not too ferocious. However, with
names like 'Overland Truck Eater'; 'Commercial Suicide' and 'Judgement
Day', it was enough to get our adrenalin pumping :-)
Forward paddle,
back paddle, DOWN! ... a series of commands would be shouted from behind by
our rafting guide, Potato (apparently named because he was born in a
potato field!).
The 13 rapids were quickly
negotiated and after a tough walk out of the gorge, we enjoyed a good meal
provided by the rafting company.
