DAY 1
Arrival & Welcome
Welcome to Zambia! Settle into your accommodation at the Victoria Falls Waterfront hotel overlooking the Zambezi river. Evening meet-and-greet with your guides and new friends.
DAY 2
Warm-up Paddling
We’ll begin the day with a morning yoga flow, then head to the river for a confidence-building warm-up session. Group dinner in Livingstone.
DAY 3
Full Day Paddling + Pranayama + Massage
We’ll begin the day with a grounding yoga and mobility session, preparing the body and mind for a full day on the water. The river section we paddle will be chosen based on the group’s preferences. At midday, a guided breathwork practice on a quiet beach or a calm eddy will help you reconnect with your breath and presence. In the evening, everyone will enjoy a scheduled massage to unwind and restore.

DAY 4
Big Water Day + Sunset Safari Cruise
Morning yoga warm-up followed by a full day of big-water kayaking (section chosen depending on group’s preference).

In the evening, unwind on a classic Zambezi Sunset Cruise with drinks and dinner.
DAY 5
Rest Day: Massage & Elephant Interaction
Sleep in, then treat yourself to a late-morning massage. Spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool or exploring at your own pace. In the late afternoon, you will have a chance to enjoy an unforgettable encounter with the elephants—an experience you won’t want to miss.
DAY 6-7
Multiday Expedition
Embark on two days of full river immersion through the breathtaking
Batoka Gorge. We’ll begin by exploring the Minus Rapids and taking a walk underneath Victoria Falls — an unforgettable perspective that few ever experience. From there, our raft-supported paddling adventure begins.
We will paddle through the legendary rapids and experience Zambezi under the stars during one overnight camp on the riverbank.
DAY 8-9 (optional)
Chobe Safari
Extend your trip with a 2-day, 1-night safari in Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
