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!

Exciting experience, won’t disappoint you! - James is very nice, a great experienced guide and all the staff are very helpful. Thanks to them we had a lot of fun. we started a bit further (rapid 7 or 8?) that is normal because of the water levels, was still perfect. The rafting is quite challenging! Wear good shoes for the walk down and up afterwards, they keep them dry for you if you go barefoot in the raft.

Livingston Zambezi whitewater rafting Trip - James and the team picked us up punctually from our hotel and we drove in the Safari style truck to just above rapid 14 where we were outfitted and briefed before walking down to the raft . The scenery was magnificent, the rapids we encountered exciting but safe and our crew of James and Abraham in our boat and Andrew and Sergeos were knowledgeable and very amusing ! Our group had age ranges from 12 years old to 60 years old and all of us enjoyed the experience very much . There is a reasonably steep walk out but it is very manageable and you are rewarded by a nice lunch with fantastic views at the top. The drive back to town is through local villages and gives you a nice local experience. I would thoroughly recommend the Maano Adventures rafting experience!

Not trustworthy at all!! - Cannot recommend at all! If you care about yourself and your belongings, I recommend you to chose a more trustworthy activity provider. The manager Enock Labisi does not keep his words. We were told to hand in all belongings and valuables while being on the rafting tour. My new phone came back totally damaged by the company. It was damaged in a way which I cannot explain - the screen and frame of the phone were so damaged as if someone drove on it. I had long discussions with the Enock Labisi who even accused me of having brought a broken phone… cannot put in words as we were in communication with the driver using the exact same phone. Also, the backup indicate t
