I had an absolutely amazing experience rafting on the Zambezi River below Victoria Falls, along with the swimming activities. Everything was well organized, exciting, and felt very safe throughout. A special thank you to our guide, Abraham, who was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his friendly attitude and encouragement. His expertise gave us confidence on the river, and his enthusiasm made the adventure unforgettable. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls and looking for an exciting adventure, I highly recommend this tour. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
Good Morning Thank you for this amazing review, we are thrilled to know that you had a great experience ,it was an absolute pleasure hosting you and we hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards Mr Enock
Had an incredible experience river rafting on the Zambezi River with Maano Adventures. The team was reliable, friendly, and highly professional, making the entire adventure truly unforgettable. The trip was led brilliantly by Inok, whose leadership and expertise stood out, while Soldier and Abraham were efficient, energetic, and great fun throughout the experience. They also arranged a healthy meal after the climb, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. Overall, it was one of the best adventure experiences we’ve had, thanks to such a wonderful and dedicated team.
We greatly thank for the great review you gave us.
Mega experience! It really is an evening adventure that requires good fitness. Hiking down and up the canyon was exhausting, but worth the effort! The crew is mega and when you see how many people are needed, that justifies the price. Pick-up went great, lunch was great. The rafting itself is simply awesome! Paddle requires good strength and the waves are definitely grades 5-6.
We greatly thank you for choosing maano adventures as your company of choice. Thanks alot for the great review you gave us. Looking forward to see you in the near future.
Booked a tour for swimming below Victoria Falls and the rafting downstream. Really amazing scenery! Very competent guides! A lot of safety kayaks around to assist in case we fall off the boat. Also very kind when we had to shorten our full day booking to just half day due to fatigue and stomach issues. They only charged us the half day price. Definitely can recommend. Unforgettable experience
We greatly thank you for choosing maano adventures as your company of choice. Above all thank you for the great review you have given us. Looking forward to see you in the near future.
Super cool rafting tour , everything perfect ! Everything is super prepared and everything is safe ! All participants are super well taken care of during the entire tour !
We thank you for taking your precious time to give us this great review.
So far my best rafting experience. Our guide Enock guided us professionally through all the rapids and made sure that everyone got their money's worth. Another highlight was swimming under the waterfall. We were an average athletic group with a 13-year-old teenager, so the half-day tour was perfect for us. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for the great review you have given us.
Great guides and made very easy and fun.we had never done rafting before but they made it very safe and enjoyable. Thank you Alex and Abraham
Thanks alot for the great review you gave us.
Fantastic time, rafting down the Zambezi. The crew were great and looked after my 12 year old, making sure he was safe and having fun. There were 2 canoes in the river for added safety and these also took photos of the day. The walk down and back up were by far the hardest part of the day. Great fun, great day, highly recommended
we greatly thank you for writing to us such a great review.
Had a great time during the half day rafting. The team made you feel safe, we're engaging and up for a good laugh. Thanks Maano Adventures!
We are very excited to receive this great review from you.thank you to hear that you had great time laughing all the way during and after the rafting. Thank you so much. Hope to see you in the near future.
It was our first time going whitewater rafting and I am not gonna lie here - I was not prepared for how much of an adrenaline rush this experience would be. But a part of me is glad that I wasn´t because if I did, I probably would not have had the courage to go through with it. If this is your first time too, know that the Zambezi is classified as a IV-V river, meaning the rapids are on the higher end of intensity for commercial rafting. Our raft flipped over crossing an especially vigorous rapid in the beginning, and a few people fell off soon afterwards whilst passing another. Being trapped underneath the raft under the forceful water was especially scary for me, but the team did their best to prep us beforehand and they worked fast to ensure a steady and safe rescue of everyone. After getting through the hurdles, we were put at ease for the rest of the journey. The views of the Gorge were stunning and passing through less threatening rapids felt especially exhilarating. There were even opportunities to take a short swim. Big thanks to our captain, Andrew, and the rest of the crew for their kindness and for keeping us afloat (literally)! Please note that the hike up to the top at the end is quite steep with loose gravel during the hot start of the afternoon. After a long morning of exhaustive rafting, this can be very challenging, even for people in decent shape. Not advisable for anyone prone to heat stroke or with weak knees.
We thank you for the great review you have given us. We are also happy to know that though it was your first time you enjoyed. Looking forward to see you in the near future.
