5.00We had such an amazing time!! The entire day was run like clock work. We had to contact them from our hotel reception as when I booked it our hotel wasn’t available for collection. However changing this wasn’t a problem. The bus arrived on time and after a quick transfer and safety chat we was on the rapids. We was blown away by how many people go into organising a days rafting!! Everybody was really nice. There was on our raft only 4 guest so 4 of the companies trainees joined us to fill the boat. It really was fantastic and this company being a local one deserves all the business they can get. The booze cruise which was also wonderful again. There are ample drinks available with some light snacks and plenty of wildlife to take in. We got the opportunity to see a huge group of hippos with their babies, crocodiles and a fabulous sunset! We then asked to be dropped in town so we could get dinner which again wasn’t a problem. Truly a very well run professional organisation. Would thoroughly recommend!!!

5.00Wow! Whitewater rafting truly lives up to the hype!!! I was initially anxious to do it given the reviews about how dangerous of an experience it can be, but we thankfully had an amazing team that allowed us to be safe and still have the utmost fun! We received a pretty comprehensive set of safety instructions prior to beginning - various ways you can be saved, how to grab your fellow raftmate if they've gone overboard, how to swim if you can't catch onto the boat, etc. Our guide JB was also amazing at navigating the raft, coupled with the slightly larger/wider rafts that Shockwave uses, ensured that flipping over completely was minimized. The rapids - are absolute chaos but so much fun! Each one has a cool name and JB had some fun stories to tell about certain ones (I won't spoil any). My friend and I did fly out of the raft on #13 - aka the Mother (mother you know what more like), but were quickly assisted by our raftmates. All of the logistics were impeccable from top to bottom - in terms of how personal belongings would be kept safe, outfitting us with all the necessary equipment, lunch after the rafting and hike out of the canyon, transportation, etc. The lunch afterwards with the Zambezi beers absolutely hit the spot and shout out to the chef for the amazing stuff he cooked up. Finally, the photographer/videographer who has to kayak alongside us, ahead of us to grab our photos/videos, and then catch up to us afterwards - deserves massive kudos! I think his name was Tambo...mad props for all the work he did. The photos and videos - although steep in price - are more than worth it and captured some lasting memories. Thanks to the Shockwave team for the best experience!
Pure fun!

5.00My husband and I had an awesome experience white water rafting with the Shockwaves crew (shout out to JB, Silent and Tambu). The energy levels from the team were high, (plenty of laughs) with a focus on fun and safety. The rapids, swimming and rock jumping was great followed by a delicious lunch after. We also loved the drive in to the gorge through the local village. The night before we enjoyed cruising down the Zambezi spotting crocs and hippos, and an amazing sunset with plenty of refreshments and an awesome crew (shoutout to Precious). Highly recommend.
Spectacular

5.00Tabs, BJ and crew gave us the most spectacular ride down the night Zambezi River. We felt completely safe and knew that they were ready for anything. From the difficult walk down the canyon to the lovely hot lunch when we were finished, they are absolutely the best in Victoria Falls.
