Bucket List checked off!!! - We had an adreline-filled, amazing advendure on the Zambezi river!. Tour starts just below Victoria Falls and winds through the beautiful gorge below. The hike down tot he starting point and the hike out at the end definitly requires someone to be in moderate shape and there are plenty of class 5 rapids, but if you have rafted before and enjoy adventure sports then this is for you! Our Guide Enoch was wonderful and kept us safe at all times. Definely a highlight of our trip to Africa!

Fabulous fun. Really friendly experienced crew. Big rapids 😁 Highly recommend. - Wow! This trip was amazing. The crew were simply amazing! Two guys in separate Kayaks were always around in case you got into difficulty. Our fitting of life jackets was thoroughly checked.
Each rapid was explained clearly before we hit it. Really friendly crew, well organised, great fun, very safe but not skipping out on the excitement!
We were picked up at our hotel (Victoria falls) and we were passed to another driver when we got to the border as it’s on the Zambia side but your Kaza visa let’s you over for free. We were very well looked after.

Best experience ever - We had an amazing time. We got lucky and got paired up with Enoch and his team, and they were all very attentive, caring, energetic, and fun. As Puerto Ricans, we have a lot of energy and are very loud and they matched our energy. They explained everything with details and they provided information before we did a run. They made sure that we were always safe with our equipment or if anybody went over. We also went down with another team, which made it even more fun because we got to see them do the runs and get a different perspective. The whole team is amazing and beyond helpful. I was struggling with the steps at the end and they took my vest and my helmet to make it better for me. Once I made it to the top, they were very energetic and very encouraging throughout. 100% recommend this is definitely a must. We also got to spend time with the other boat and they had Alex as their captain who also did an amazing job and had amazing energy. If you are an adrenaline junkie like us, this will not disappoint!!

Unforgettable Experience and Memories - Once in a lifetime experience. I HIGHLY recommend this if you visit the area. Not for novice rafters or the faint of heart as the river has class 3,4, and 5 rapids but if you are up for the challenge it is so much FUN! Our raft captain Enoch and his team were experts at navigating the river and always kept our safety in mind. We always felt like they had things under control for our group of 6 family and friends. If you want an adrenaline rush, book this adventure! Make sure to bring good shoes for the hike down to the drop in point and the hike back up (720 steep steps), but again, the guides are there to help you along the way!

DO IT!!! - INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE-HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Our group was 6 over 50 adults. We had an amazing time. Enoch and the team ensured we all had a blast and were safe. I recommend really good shoes to climb into and out of the gorge as there are many rocks and boulders to go over. The hike out is paved with stairs that the guides stayed with us and ensured we had water for hydration. The Zambezi River is gorgeous and should be respected with multiple class 5 rapids. Overall, has an absolutely fabulous time and Enoch & team couldn’t have provided better adventure and safety!!

Lifelong memories you don’t want to miss! - As it was our first time rafting we didn’t really know what to expect, but we were blown away by the incredible views of the gorge and the kindness and capability of Stanley and the rest of the team. We were in very good hands, even as complete beginners. The homemade samosas we received for lunch after the hike back up were a 10/10! Overall, a great experience that I would definitely recommend!

Whitewater rafting on the... - Whitewater rafting on the Zambezi was one of the highlights of our trip and we would 100% recommend doing it with Maano! Our guides, Andrew and Abraham (as well as others I can't remember the name of, sorry!) were super experienced and so we felt safe at all times, whilst also being friendly and hilarious and making us laugh all day. They also offer the photos and videos for free unlike other companies which is a great bonus! Just a note, this company are based in Zambia, and so I'd recommend a Kaza visa if you're eligible, as it means you can cross between Zambia and Zimbabwe with no restrictions.
