Wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful tour of Victoria Falls with Philip and his colleague. He was attentive, friendly and made sure we got a wonderful experience. He's very knowledgeable. His colleague (who drove and partially accompanied us at the falls) was also very friendly and kind.
Would highly recommend a tour with them !

Amazing rafting by Zambezi!
We had a truly amazing rafting by Zambezi!
The water was high and it was indeed interesting to pass through it, the views were wonderful
The team was super professional, so we were instructed well before and then had great experience. There were only 2 of us, so we were driving the boat together with the team. Even though the water has high we felt safe and there also was a security guy on the other boat around
Also we had a stop for rest with water abs snacks and there was a photographer around who took nice pics of our trip
After the trip we had a hiking time (also requires some energy) to get to the car and also tasty lunch
Thanks a lot to the team, the experience was memorable!

Best thing to do by the Falls!
In an area that has so many activities and day trips this is number one… it is a little challenging rafting and hiking but anyone and everyone can do it.. you will not regret choosing it!

Super rafting trip against incredible backdrop
We had a great day with Ayoba and his great team from Mavumina! It wasn’t just another touri-fun activity but a real nature-culture-sports experience in the beautiful canyon of the Zambezi. We were super looked after from start to finish, everything was explained very well and we always felt safe on the water - even when falling out of the boat;-) We had a lot of fun on and in the water and with the team, but you should know that in the meantime it gets really sporty when paddling and especially when climbing out of the canyon after the tour. We would also recommend long-sleeved clothes to everyone, we got quite burned despite sunscreen... After the delicious lunch you get a good insight into life on the way back to the town, which we also found very impressive. We would definitely recommend Ayoba and his team! As the only local providers, they do a great job!

An unforgettable adventure on the Zambezi river
We have never done white water rafting before, but the whole team was so patient and accommodating with us, that you immediately felt like a part of the crew. Thank you captain Ayoba and your professional, friendly team for this incredible adventure and great memories. It was a pleasure to meet all of you. We definitely also appreciated an amazing home cooked lunch, great pics and highly professional video package, as we “concurred” the Zambezi rapids :)
Because we only had limited time in Zambia, we were only able to do a half day activity. But, we are definitely coming back for more!
So, if you are headed to Livingstone at anytime, I would highly recommend going white water rafting with captain Ayoba and his incredible team.
