Captain Andrew, Soldier and Elijah were top tier. Highly recommend these guys. - Captain Andrew, Soldier (safety kayaker) and Elijah were excellent. They took myself and my father very last minute and gave us a great experience. Very professional and gave us a fantastic time. Shout out to John and Peter (extra crew who came along) who made their first trip down the Lower Zambezi with us. Would highly recommend these guys, looking forward to doing anouther trip with them.

Best day of our trip to Zambia!!! - What a fantastic experience! We booked a full-day white water rafting trip with MAANO and it all went very smoothly. The experience itself was amazing, the perfect combination between fun, excitement and adrenaline. Andrew, the captain of the boat, and his team did a great job, and we felt safe even at the more challenging rapids, no.7 and no.11, our favourite. Rafting on Zambezi river was incredible, from full action to relaxing moments, hearing the birds singing and enjoying the landscape. We had some rafting experience, but this one was the best by far. Equally exciting, the trip through the traditional villages after the full-day rafting trip, on the way back. Getting the videos and the pictures was a great choice. What a great way to relive the action! Thank you Maano for looking after us so well!

An exhilarating experience not to be missed - We booked a half day rafting adventure down the Zambezi, we rafted from rapid 14 to rapid 25, it was amazing, one of the most excillerating activities we have ever done. Andrew and his team were wonderful company, The team made us feel very safe and were very informative in explaining all of the safety aspects of rafting. The scenery was out of this world and we would highly recommend Maano Adventures to have an amazing day.

Incredible experience! - Absolutely wonderful! Amazing!Great experience! We did the Zambezi Wildwater rafting for unfortunately just one day and it was such fun, we all loved it so much and our son Tim (he is 16years old) really enjoyed it and we all went crazy. Captain James did an amazing job guiding us so safely and professionally through all rapids, it was just spectacular for us. He and the whole team did such a great job, I am already planning to come back and then we would love to do the 2-5days Tour with the team! I am still excited and it is worth every dollar, promise. Just remember when you enter the border of Zimbabwe that you get a multiple re-entry visa, you are in fact crossing borders all the time with all the activities. I am still deeply impressed of all we got so see on that tour. Great team doing a fantastic job and it was a real challenge. Promise! Thank you James again and the whole crew, see you soon, Natascha

White Water Rafting with a 12 yr and 14yr old - This company looked after us to well and despite being very nervous before we started, my husband and both children LOVED the rafting and were glad I'd booked it. We chose the Maano because we have a 12 year old and 14 year old and others don't take this age. Both are good swimmers though actually the life jackets held them up when the went in the river and they didnt need to swim really. Maano replied promptly to our emails, they turned up to collect us on time and the actual rafting was amazing- if a little bit scary! The guide Andrew was so good with the children and the raft. We did flip on rapid 5 and Soldier, the guide in the rescue kayak was in exactly the right place to scoop up the children and return them to the boat. We have watched the video many times and it's amazing how he's just there, they are so experienced, they know where the trouble spots are. We love the photos and video and the guys carrying the equipment were fab too. We were given water before the climb and a good lunch too. So, we really recommend the rafting and Maano. ps I also noticed that when you start you raft alongside other companies- we had boats from Safari Par and Wild Horizons and they all know each other and help each other- eg we rescued a man when one of their boat flipped at a rapid that we went through fine- so that's nice too, it feel secure being in a little fleet of boats working together.

Amazing Crew - Awesome rafting experience! The crew were super experienced, made rafting smoother. We had to go down and hike back up after rafting, so bring a shoe that can get wet and you can hike with.

A Must Do Rafting Experience! - Very professional and well run tour that brought us from our hotel in Botswana all the way to the rafting site and back again. They even brought us to and from Victoria Falls after the rafting had concluded! James was a super competent guide that really made the somewhat daunting rapids fun and exciting. Amos and Abraham, although not on the raft itself, were fun and helped to keep the mood light. Overall, even if you are a novice rafter like me you can still have an unbelievable time with this company! Cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic whitewater rafting! - Maano adventures was amazing!!! We did the whitewater rafting day trip and it was phenomenal. We had so much fun! Everyone was so helpful and nice, the guide, James, was especially great. We felt totally safe the whole time. The staff took care of everything for us and made the day so easy. They were also very accommodating when my friend got sick the day before and we had to change plans. Overall 10/10, I would absolutely recommend Maano Adventures!

Great rafting - Excellent adventure - Andrew the raft captain was 1st class, giving clear instructions when entering rapids to take best line. Safety kayaker/camera man was excellent and there when every you needed him.
