Mambova Rapids
One of Africa’s most iconic natural spectacles the mighty Zambezi River is home to yet another fantastic Zambian destination - the Mambova Rapids. While not as well known outside of its country, Mambova Rapids has much to offer especially to those travellers who are looking for an adrenaline rush. These rapids are nothing short of epic and are even considered infamous by some of the locals. As you would expect, Mambova Rapids is excellent for all sorts of intense water activities such as river kayaking and white water rafting. For those that love having their hearts hammer through their chests and the blood rush furiously through the rest of their bodies, trying your hand at an extreme water sport along the Mambova Rapids is the perfect tonic for you.
Besides adrenaline pumping pastimes, the rapids are also a terrific spot to enjoy some of the world’s best tiger fishing opportunities. Many of the accommodation chalets along the banks of the river afford their guests the ideal chance of simply casting their nets over the edge of their residences and trying to catch something in that manner; another option is to take a boat out of the jetty and head for the deeper fish-laden waters. However you choose to enjoy this expedition, what you are guaranteed of is that this will arguably be the finest fresh water fishing experience you’ll have anywhere in the country. The surrounding area of Mambova is also known for its awesome bird watching opportunities where visitors get the privilege of viewing up to 200 different species. If this is not enough, that other iconic African natural paradise known as the legendary Victoria Falls is a mere 80km away.
