Maano Adventures is such a great rafting company to go with! They are locally owned, very safe, and were a ton of fun to hang out with for the day. Would definitely go again with these guys.

This experience was absolutely wonderful! The team was excellent! Especially with making one of the other girls on the raft feel comfortable and have a good time when she was terrified at the beginning. They created a fun atmosphere and I never felt unsafe. Would definitely use this company again. They told us the best time for rafting was August when the water is low and the ride is crazier but we still had a ton of fun with the higher levels of water. They even showed us the best place to see in town and gave us a ride back to the border.

Estar en el río Zambezi es hermoso, el paisaje está lleno de paz y a la vez, en la corrientes, te llenas de adrenalina. Es una actividad bastante demandate en términos de condiciones físicas bajar hasta el río y regresar requiere de bastante esfuerzo. El equipo de profesionales se conoce el río muy bien. Full recomendado.
