This years Zambezi Challenge (White Water Rafting and Kayaking Event) is scheduled for the 19th to the 21st of October 2007...A Message from the Event Manager - Robin Brown, Cansaf Adventures
"This is without doubt the major White Water event in Africa. The thrills and spills from last year (2006) were a tribute to the competing teams who against the odds on this Wild River performed above all expectations.
I have no doubt that this year, with the event being held in October and thus the water level expected to be at its prime for the Commercial Rafting Experience we are going to see some spectacular action!
In October the water is expected to be reasonably low as Southern Africa comes out of its 6 month dry winter. The Zambezi in the Batoka gorge beneath the Victoria Falls is at its prime for Rafting and Kayaking at this level.
Rapids such as number 5 "The Stair Way to Heaven" and number 8 "The Midnight Diner" will be KICKING. We are getting some major interest from Rafting bodies from around the world and expect at least three continents to be represented at this year's event".
The event organisers are working closely with the International Rafting Federation offices based in Australia in getting the event registered as a Worl Series Event. This will still allow the event to accept entries from both Amateur and Professional Athletes.
