Bundu White Water Rafting - Livingstone Zambia
So you're a crazy person looking for an adventure huh? Wanna white water rafting down the Zambezi? Good! It's an amazing adventure you'll never forget..plus, you have failed if you leave Livingstone without this notch on your travellers belt!
Here's some advice and a little taste of what to expect.
The city of Livingstone is a lively eclectic mix of tourist destinations and local living. It is the hub in Zambia for tourism, especially adventure tourism. It's all made possible by the beautiful Zambezi river. From it's calm shores in the city where you can see elephants roaming and fisherman fishing, to it's thunder and roar when it reaches an epic crack in the earth and plunges hundreds of feet into a beautiful abyss. It's just downstream from this abyss that one of the greatest rafting adventures on earth begins. A classy, high volume, deep watered rapid wonderland. I say classy because it has one of the most varied 'classes' of rapids on earth. From class 1 (super easy fun times pools) to class 5, (slow motion, hold yer breath, oh ma gawd!) type rapids. If you are a human..you have a gamut of emotions and you're most likely to feel them all on you're rafting trip down the Zambezi. Excitement when you approach a rapid, fear when you're in it, happiness when you survive and sadness when it's all over!
The rafting Season:
The rafting season here is from June-February, with the best season being from August - January. Best because you can experience the whole river and not just a part if the water levels are too high. Nevertheless, you should go even if it's not the ideal time.
Who to book with:
There are two main operators in the area. They are called - Bundu Adventures & SafPar.
Both operators have similar rates, boats and safety records etc. I chose to book with Bundu Adventures and so happy that I did. Here's why:
*I contacted a few companies to get rates & options for the trip. Bundu was the only one that got back to me with a personal message. (I even called them last minute to add a friend on the trip with no problems.)
*Their staff picked us up from our hostel on time and were super friendly. I had great conversation with them throughout the whole day.
*Our guide, Potato, was so amazing. Apart from gracefully guiding us down the epic gamut of rapids, he also gives you a guided history lesson on the Zambezi, some specific landmarks and sites along the river. Talk about value! Haha. He also had a gift of bringing strangers together as one close, chanting rafting' team. A true cap'n Ahab! Halfway through the river, we were by far, the loudest and happiest boat. Thanks Cap'n..
*Safe! Being a solo traveler, I make it a point to meet lots of new people and get the low down on things to do, people to see.. While comparing rafting experiences, I can say that my rafting experience seemed to be the best and safest (or maybe my boat just kicked a lot of derrier?). Anyway, totally safe from my point of view.
So yes, do your research, but start with these folks. I highly recommend:
BUNDU ADVENTURES
Tips:
This is a physical activity, both in the boat and ..well not in the boat. You don’t have to be in peak physical condition, but you should be able to hold your own and paddle for several hours.
If you cannot swim, do not do this!
Do the full day trip. They offer half day trips, but it’s really worth just doing the whole day. You’ll live to regret only being half awesome.
What to bring.. courage, comradery and a sense of humour…and sunscreen. I went barefoot and just wore ma trunks. There is a hike down to the starting point, so wear hiking shoes (They have a 'dry bag' that you can out your shoes in). If you’re get cold easily (ladies) or you're a bit of a wuss, they have wetsuits! I say if you’re cold, you’re not working hard enough! HAHA.
GOPROs! Hey, if you have a gopro, put the darn thing on your helmet! I saw a few people with the chesty attachments. That's no good cause you can't see anything!
Any other questions? Contact me and I'll let ya know what I know:)

Chiawa Camp, Zambezi National Park, Zambia - Unravel Travel TV
The family owned and operated multi-award winning Chiawa Camp in the incredible Lower Zambezi National Park is Zambia's premier luxury safari camp and offers unusually varied activities such as game drives, walking, canoeing, boating and angling in the company of Africa's finest guides.
Indulge in attentive yet unpretentious, personalised service, fabulous cuisine and tents with spectacular views of the Zambezi and its resident wildlife. All this in a beautiful setting with leopards, lions, elephants, hippos and other wildlife as your neighbours. Along with Chiawa's renowned dedication to its guests, staff, local communities and conservation, share in Chiawa's passion and experience so that you can enjoy one of Africa's very finest safari camps and the wildlife adventure of a lifetime. Founded, owned and run by the Cumings family who are utterly dedicated to ensuring that Chiawa Camp & Old Mondoro continue to be one of Africa's very top safari operations.
Chiawa Camp blends in effortlessly with its idyllic surroundings and provides a retreat which guests are invited to make their home away from home, where guests receive the friendliest of welcomes, the biggest of smiles and where guests, who leave as friends to return time and again, experience the very best in Africa.
On the banks of the Zambezi River, under a grove of evergreen Mahogany trees, Chiawa Camp holds the prime position in the heart of Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. It is at this very spot where the Cumings Family first explored this area for themselves decades ago, where David Livingstone had ventured through nearly 150 years previously, and where in 1989 they created the very first photo safari operation in the Lower Zambezi National Park - and through their efforts what has since become one of Africa's most desirable, sought after safari destinations. A stunning thatched lounge/bar area with upstairs viewing deck provides one of the best views of the Zambezi whilst after enjoying Chiawa's renowned cuisine on the al-fresco dining veranda, one can relax by the open camp fire with a cocktail in hand to reminisce of the day's adventures before retiring to the tents, each a sanctuary of luxury and peace to dream about what tomorrow may bring. Also available for guests' enjoyment and relaxation are two perfectly positioned game viewing hides and a plunge pool with timber sun deck overlooking the Zambezi.
The tents all have timber floors and verandas with excellent views and are accessed by paths running behind them to maximise privacy. All share ample comforts, conveniences and unexpected luxuries such as free WiFi, 24/7 lighting and charging facilities (220v UK plugs), 24/7 hot & cold running water, king size beds, Egyptian cotton linens, his & hers washbasins, indoor and outdoor showers and ball & claw baths complemented by high quality, eco friendly amenities.
The Lower Zambezi National Park, by virtue of the Zambezi River and its parallel escarpment, is one of Africa's most scenic wildernesses, home to an impressive quantity and variety of wildlife that can be viewed not only on the more usual land based safari activities but also on a variety of water based activities and in the camps themselves. Do not expect vast vistas and plains with thousands of prey animals constantly being hunted down by dozens of predators. There are other places for this, other places with more animals and more variety -- but these places are usually on the path more traveled, suffering from an overload of tourists and average guiding. Zambia's wildernesses are still wild and not yet overrun with lodges and tourists, where tracking down its precious wildlife requires skilled guides and patient guests who appreciate the adventure and remoteness as much as the sightings. It is important to note that Zambia does not offer private concessions in its National Parks and so one is likely to encounter others during their safaris, however due to the remoteness of Zambia's National Parks, this is rarely an issue and you do not suffer from multiple vehicles and people at any one sighting as in some places in East Africa. Both Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro are located in the middle of the prime wildlife and habitat zones of the Lower Zambezi National Park, so you usually do not have to travel far to see wildlife (which often visits us in camp!) and we are usually headed back to camp by the time any other vehicles start finding out what's going on.
