Jetboats
Pumping vast amounts of power from huge jet engines, these powerboats shoot down the rapids below the Victoria Falls at 100 km an hour. A thrilling half hour spent flying over the water and 'buzzing' rock faces!
Jet boating is a thrilling new adventure on the ZambeziRiver in
the Batoka Gorge below the Victoria Falls. Feel the wind in your
hair and the spray in your face as the powerful jet boats speed
through rapids, rush past gorge walls and spin on the flat
water.
The 30 minute jet boat trip can be combined with a spectacular
helicopter flight (from a heli pad by the river) through the gorge
flying just above the water level and then over the Victoria Falls.
This dramatic heli flight is available either in to / out of the
gorge.
Or why not enjoy a full day's white water rafting to rapid
number 21 where you meet the jet boat for a ride before walking (or
helicopter) out of the gorge - for more info take a look at
the Zambezi Extreme combinations..........
