Adventure

For travellers who like to be in it rather than watching it.
Aerial view of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi gorge

With Africa Keys

Below Victoria Falls, the Zambezi runs through the Batoka Gorge in some of the best one-day white water in the world. At Jinja, the Nile begins its journey north with rapids of its own.

Adventure sits well beside other things. Many travellers add a day or two of it to a safari.
