To be clear, I cannot review the Half Day Zambezi River White Water Rafting. I booked it at a time that the full seasonal closure was in effect (though the tour operator still accepts reservations!). The operator reached out through both Tripadvisor and by Whatsapp to propose I do the Upper Zambezi River float as an alternative (while collecting the full fee for the White Water tour). I ultimately agreed, wanting to at least get onto the water and support rafting guides who must take on other tours when the Lower Zambezi is closed. On the day of the tour (April 26), the guides arrived an hour earlier than agreed. I scrambled to get ready so we could leave by about 7:45am. We drove 40 minutes or so into Mosi Oa Tunya National Park and to the river bank. The raft was ready by about 9:00am and we were on the water. But by 10:00am we were already making our way towards shore and as the guides were packing up they offered me lunch! I declined and said that if this was the end of the tour I'd rather just be taken back to my hotel. In all, I spent more time on the road than on the river. And the tour operator HSM Adventures refuses to provide a partial refund, offering a number of excuses for why this tour "might not have met expectations". Mind you, I paid for an experience that is advertised as lasting ~6 hours and got one that lasted half of that. DO NOT FALL FOR THE BAIT AND SWITCH.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we truly appreciate your understanding regarding the seasonal closure of the Lower Zambezi rafting. We would like to clarify that during this period, rafting activities are not permitted due to high water levels for safety reasons. As communicated in advance, we offered the Upper Zambezi River Float as an alternative so that you could still experience the river, and we appreciate your willingness to proceed with this option. Regarding your concerns, we sincerely apologize for the early pick-up and any inconvenience caused, as well as for the shorter duration of the activity compared to your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously as we continuously work to improve our operations and communication. To clarify, a partial refund was processed through the booking platform, in line with the resolution agreed upon. We always aim to be fair and transparent in such situations. We regret that the experience did not fully meet your expectations and appreciate your support for our guides during the high-water season. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Absolute brilliant experience. Beautiful scenery as well as exhilarating fun. We all got tossed out of the raft with a big wave which just added to the experience. Guides were excellent. The only thing not mentioned is the walk down to the gorge and the climb out. Not for the unfit. The climb out is virtually straight up with very awkward footing…it was exhausting. Overall…brilliant
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you had an absolutely brilliant time and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and exhilarating adventure on the river, even the big wave swim . It’s great to know our guides made a positive impression and helped make the experience memorable. Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the walk into the gorge and the climb out. You’re absolutely right — it is challenging and can be physically demanding, especially for those who are not very fit. We appreciate you highlighting this, as it helps future guests prepare better for the adventure. Overall, we’re delighted that you had such a fantastic experience, and we truly hope to welcome you back again for another adventure on the Zambezi!
Incredible rafting experience. Our guide James was excellent, safety conscious, and guided us safely without getting us dumped in the water! Multiple opps to swim in the water, and the rapids are epic as you'd expect. Zambezi doesn't disappoint, bucket list destination for any rafter. The hikes down and up the gorge are no joke, better be in shape and sure footed.
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had an incredible rafting experience on the mighty Zambezi and that James looked after you so well with his professionalism, safety focus, and expert guiding. It’s great to know you enjoyed the opportunity to swim between rapids and felt the true power of this bucket-list river. You’re absolutely right—the gorge hikes are part of the adventure and definitely reward those who come prepared! Thank you for choosing us and for recommending the Zambezi as a must-do for any rafter. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
A great 5 hours riding the rapids. Pick up from hotel easy with assistance across the boarders. Very experienced captain making rapids fun (but safe). Scenery beautiful throughout and after steep walk back out a delicious lunch to finish off morning adventure.

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS IF YOU ARE IN LIVINGSTONE!! My husband and I last minute decided to book this with HSM adventures and we are SO happy that we did. It was our best day of our trip. Not one negative thing to say, everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We were the only two guests on the excursion and it was so fun. Captain James (King James) was an incredible guide as were all of the other workers in the raft with us. He was great with directing us on what to do and made sure we had the best time, all while keeping us safe. We were in such good hands with all of them, I trusted them so much! They were all so kind and welcoming. I couldn’t have imagined this trip without these people, they’re great at their jobs! THANK YOU AGAIN!
