5.00With the high waters, we did rapids 14-25, but it was incredible still! Gorgeous views, amazing guides, and incredible service. Maano adventures took great care of us. They made sure we all felt safe and prepared to take on the big waters. Amazing experience. Would absolutely recommend going on both the rafting and safari trips with Maano Adventures.

5.00This was the best tour we took. Andrew, Abraham, Soldier, Sedius and Tboy made it a great fun experience. They picked us up right at our Airbnb, on the way there they were extremely friendly and even though it was only the two of us they made sure we were able to do the trip by adding more guides in the raft. When we got there, the captain - Andrew - explained the names of each of the rapids we’d go through and all the safety precautions as well ensuring we’d have a safe but very fun time. They went over the top in making the day incredibly enjoyable, and treated us like we were family.
Best rafting crew!

5.00Excellent rafting trip! Friendly guides. We had only 3 people show up so the company provided its own staff to sit with us to make a balanced raft. Highlight was that they allowed us to jump in the water at select areas and swim through some of the rapids. Lunch and drinks were provided in the end. Free transfer and on-time pick up. We got picked up at 8am and got back to our hotel in Vic Falls at 3pm. Experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend!
Your best choice!

5.00It’s the ONLY local ruled rafting company! Today we had rafting with this amazing team! Captain Andrew, Abraham, Trynos, the photographer and Soldier, our safety guy, made our experience unforgettable! The adrenaline and the fun you get while rafting down the river is TOP. The Zambezi is alive! The landscape and the views seemed like a movie... The best activity Ive done at the Victoria Falls without doubt.
