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.

5.00We did a half day of rafting from rapids 14-25, given the height of the river (early in wet season), and the price was adjusted accordingly. Our crew was experienced, and I felt safe throughout. The rapids were exhilarating, and it was a great day out. A must do in Livingstone!
An adventure of a lifetime - white water rafting the Zambezi River

5.00We started the new year off on the white water rafting experience with Maano Adventures. No amount of research and expectation could match what we were going to experience. From the moment we were fetched, the adventures began. We were fetched from out Hotel by Enoch and the gentlemen we were going to spend the majority of out day with. All such humble, fierce, brave men who just gave you reassurance that you are in good hands. Upon arrival, we were explained fully on what the day was going to be like, all the safety regulations to follow, and how to paddle and venture through the rapids when we start the rafting. We walked to the Mighty Zambezi River with these gentlemen who shared about their lives whilst enquiring about oure - this really builds the trust before the adventure! Once we got into the raft, we were taken through a few practical instructions and examples which really helped prepare us. And then the adventures began!!! Nothing can prepare your mind for the intensity shared with gentleman who just make you feel safe in very extreme adventure conditions! We went through 14 insane rapids, captained by Enoch and 4 gentleman who have the intuition, experience and understanding of the Mighty Zambezi. Each rapid is different, each requiring different guidance and instruction by Enoch, each so fiercely and well handled. After each one, the team celebrates together with such unity. To find the words to explain this is truly difficult and such experience can only be remembered with the most fondest memory. We were given water along the way when needed and safety jackets and helmets were always checked on to ensure safety. After 2 - 3 hours plus of battling the rapids, we had a journey back up to the vehicle we arrived with, returned all our belongings, bags, shoes, passports etc which were so safely kept by the team in container storage, and presented with a full hearty lunch and ice cold beverages (which you really need). All I can say is, what an experience! And to have done it with this Team of Maano Adventures was an experience of a lifetime!!! From speaking to further tourists, none of the other service providers offered such an experience to them. To say we are grateful that we went with Maano Adventures would be an understatement!!! Following the trip, we were supplied with photos and a well put together and edited video of approximately 15 minutes of our adventure to share with our loved ones and to keep as one of life's best memories! As a female with not much experience in extreme adventures like this, I felt safe, taken care of, and so humbled to have met and spent this experience with Enoch and his team!!! I will forever remember these guys! I cannot recommend this Team to share this adventure with enough. Thank you Maano Adventures for an adventure of a lifetime! Regards, Mr and Mrs Naicker (South Africa)
