started off about 50 yds from Victoria falls on the Zambia side, & travelled all day down the Zambezi river. [ 8 hrs in total ] 26 kms of river interspersed with 18 rapids ! those 2 pics are just gentle rolls. rapid 10, is the largest drop in white water rafting !! 10 mtr waterfall into the "muncher" :wow: the raft hit the bottom & shot verically up & over !! I got trapped underneath & thought I'd had it !! swallowed loads of water 'till someone dragged me out, what seemed like an eternity later ! :scared1: :Eek1: & I got the video to prove it !!

a local guy/idiot canoes through the rapids ahead of the rest, climbs up on to a rock & gets out his waterproof video camera !! when he's ready, off we go !! rapid 7, no-one made it through unscathed. :uhoh: It's about a 25 minute vid, fantastic to watch from my point of view, but probably boring as hell watching someone elses holiday vid !! :$

Bit different to your usual holiday vid though mate. I wouldn't mind seeing it.
