5.00These guys are fantastic and worked as a team very well. It’s a hard walked down and up to the river but the adventure is so worth it. They supported my wife and I very well and we definitely needed this as we were first timers and the river was very high and fast. We felt totally safe with them the whole trip and they made sure of this every moment. .A special mention to the head of group Andrew who showed a great amount of care for us as did his well experienced team. There’s also a great experience while driving to and from the river with a view into the local villages. Would highly recommend this as one of our best experiences in this region.

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!
