My partner and I raftedthe Zambesi river with Ayoba! He's the best guide!! Such an awesome guy, he took us through all the safety procedures, and went through what would happen if the boat flipped, and the boat did flip, but it was fine, and he did an awesome job of getting us all back in!!😁😁 We felt super safe the whole trip, even when the boat went upside down! Massive waves and Massive hits on the water. Such an epic experience!! Thank you Ayoba!!!😁😁🤪🤟💪

We traveled with friends to Zambia in June 2025. We were able to do all three of the excursions offered by Ayoba Adventures. I highly recommend all three of them . Ayoba adventures is locally owned, you can feel the pride from a local son. We found Ayoba to be thoughtful, knowledgeable , honest and also we felt safe. We were able to see all the animals, learn about the habitat, conservation efforts. We loved our trip from start to finish

Captain Ayoba was a trustful, knowledgeable and fun person who gave us the great experience on water. I was a bit nervous in the beginning but the crew made sure to give instruction to avoid from danger so I get safe. It was beyond a rafting but a great journey that deepened our connection !
