White water rafting: Lower Moemba Waterfalls

The Ghost Rider: The greatest roller coster wave

We will have a relaxed morning downstream the towering waves of Ghost rider, the biggest commercially run-able roller coaster wave train in the World. In the original exploratory trip on the Zambezi one of the rafters opted not to run the rapid and pushed his empty boat off into the current. The sight of the empty raft successfully running the rapid in the twilight (after two others had flipped) inspired him to name the rapid Ghost rider. After surviving the Ghost rider rapid it will be the time to open our cooler boxes full of beers and start drinking as we will be drifting down small rapids. We get to camp at about 16:00 after traveling about 20 km.

Bismack Territory & Fish Eagles Nest

There is no rush on this day and after breakfast, we paddle past a set of small rapids before negotiating a more technical rapid named Asleep At The Wheel and then drift into camp! After departing camp we drift past Fish Eagle's nests, negotiate rapids namely Wave Train, Jay Bay (similar to Jeffrey's Bay in South Africa - a popular surfing place), Bismark's Territory, (home to a particularly large crocodile named Bismark!) and Smugglers Camp. This is the biggest fisherman's village encountered during the 6 day trip and the villagers are happy to show us around, giving us a glimpse at an astonishingly uncomplicated and simple lifestyle totally free from the modern urban world we left behind some days ago.

White water rafting wrap up

The river really changes character. Basalt rocks give way to grassy banks and the grunts of vocal hippopotamus carry across the water. Our rafts drift past islands in the river, havens for Egyptian Geese and basking crocodiles. After a couple of hours, we rendezvous with our vehicles near the Matetsi River mouth. After packing up and deflating the rafts we head straight to Hwange National park by road having lunch en route.

Check in at the lodge and freshen up before the pickup for the evening game drive.

The drive is approx 3 hours.
