Soaking in the Zambezi!

In my last blog I wrote about my bungee over the Zambezi-river. In this blog I want to introduce to you, my reader, another activity in which to partake while near Victoria Falls.
At the time of my trip my love for water was not quite as intense as it is today. So the thought of doing a river rafting down a grade 5 river, made my tummy do a couple of back-flips while walking down the narrow pathway to the riverbanks where the two boats awaited us. I was also incredibly excited for the experience to come as I had done river rafting before in a smaller river in Iceland. This time I was facing the forces of nature in its most powerful form!
The trip itself down the river began quietly, but got more intense as we got further up the river. For some reason, my friend Eva and I bring out the lunatic in each other, so we wanted nothing more than for our boat to flip over and actually soak ourselves in the river. Crocodiles or no crocodiles, my God it had to happen!
Luckily for us, the guide seemed to be of the same opinion, so we got what we bargained for. Not only did our boat flip once but twice; and once my friend Eva drifted up the river for a bit. This is where my love for water begun, and since then water has become my passion.
I have included a link to the website for the company in charge of most, if not all, organized activities in the vicinity of Victoria Falls. Whether you are in Zimbabwe or Zambia, the options are the same.
I would fully recommend with trying at least one activity that makes you tremble. In the end of the day, you might just surprise yourself!
