Calling all schools and rowing enthusiasts: the prestigious Zambezi International Regatta is back for its sixth edition, offering an unforgettable experience on one of the world’s most iconic rivers. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, this regatta is not just a race—it’s a celebration of sport, nature, and adventure.

Participants will compete in Eights, Fours, Octuples, and Quads, with races spanning 2000 meters and 500-meter sprints. The regatta also features exhilarating corporate rafting events, 500-meter knock-out sprints, and the traditional Zambian mokoro racing. Teams and individual competitors alike will have the chance to showcase their skills on Africa’s first World Championship course.

The Zambezi International Regatta is steeped in history and boasts the distinction of once holding the most expensive trophy in sporting history. The event takes place on the mighty Zambezi River, just a few kilometers upstream of the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls—aptly named “The Smoke That Thunders.”
