We booked the rafting trip a few days beforehand and there was no problem with them meeting us at our hotel in Livingstone. We were driven through picturesque traditional Zambian villages on the way to the river. The guides provided very good instructions to keep us safe. After the long climb down to the river we were ready to go! Our guide, knowing we were experienced rafters, took us on some of the trickiest rapids to make it challenging for us, but our safety was never in question the entire time. After the rafting trip and walk back up, we enjoyed a filling lunch with water and soft drinks. It was more than my son and I could eat! This group is locally owned and operated and we were so glad we chose this group for our Zambezi rafting excursion!

I went on the white water rafting tour with four of my friends and what a day we had. It was an amazing tour with the most beautiful views of the lake and the mountains on both the Zambian and Zimbabwe side. The water rafting tour was so nice - very funny and exiting. The guides were amazing. They were both professional, sweet and good at making you feel safe. I can for sure recommend this tour and this company!! Thank you to the fantastic guides for the wonderful tour. 🙌🏼

Absolutely the BEST experience ever! We were a school that has socially challenged students, and the guides were so patient, understanding and super funny. They are professional and one really feels sage with them, it is visible they know what they're doing, and they take safety very seriously. They are good at keeping the mood up, and they also took care of all the good and drinks. I would do it again and again with them, totally recommend!

Ayoba from Mavumina safaris was a fantastic raft guide, and trip leader! He made us feel super safe the whole time, and we also had many laughs with the crew, which were also all great people! Ayoba told us all about each rapid as we were coming up to it, and how we needed to attack it. They were on time to pick us up and drop us off to and from our accomodation, and nothing was too hard for them! The lunch we had after the trip was fantastic. We also did the Lion King river cruise organized through Mavumina, which was also outstanding! This day will be remembered for a long time. Many thanks to all involved, I would 100% recommend Mavumina for your Zambezi rafting experience!

We did white water rafting on the Zambezi River on September 2. Was a very cool experience with a lot of fun and adrenaline. The captain Ayoba with his crew Clement, Stick, Friday and Cholwe were very competent, very familiar with the river and its whims. I felt safe in the boat with this crew.
