Fantastic! - This trip is a must do when you visit Vic Falls. The game drive to get to the launch spot is great, river is amazing, and the staff are awesome. Highly recommended.

Perfect canoe day - Wow, what a day! We did the canoe trip on the Zambezi with Adam and his team and everything was perfect! The ride is beautiful with hippos and crocodiles, not to mention the amount of colorful birds! Lunch was served after we arrived. It was simply delicious and the cold beer made us feel refreshed! Adam loves his work and you can feel it! He communicates his joie de vivre and his enthusiasm. Thanks to his knowledge of the fauna and flora, all questions asked to him are answered and always in a passionate tone. His team is pleasantly attentive to your needs and concerned about your comfort. They gave us all the safety instructions in case of a problem in a clear and precise manner. I can only highly recommend Adam and his team. You will feel like you are spending the day with old friends! I would definitely book him for my next trip to Zimbabwe!

Day canoe trip - Very peaceful with great guides but the canoeing was only just over 7km and lasted 2hrs which was shorter than expected. Enjoyable with guides making us feel safe and pointing out interesting birds and trees as well as Hippos and Crocodiles.
