Give that man a 'Bells whisky'. - Thando was amazing!! He knew the river like the backof his hand, and psuhed us hard, when we needed to 'go through', the rapids.

Awesome Rafting Experience!! A Must Do!! - We did the Full Day Rafting and it was absolutely amazing. We were a family of 7 plus our guide Emmanuel. He was very good and a great sport. It was an awesome experience. We laughed so much. It was super exciting. I would definitely recommend SAFPAR! I booked through VIATOR online, and we stayed at The Victoria Falls Waterfront with the SAFPAR office onsite, making it very convenient. Everything was organized very well. You also get free photos afterward. Thanks again.

Exhilarating Activity! - The rafting was exhilarating and such fun! The guides are fantastic and make you feel very safe. Be aware that there is a steep and hot hike out of the gorge at the end. Absolutely would recommend this activity.

Conquering Class 5 Rapids with the Best Crew! - You can't miss this! What an incredible, bucket-list experience—one of the highlights of our trip! September was a fantastic time to experience the river, with lower water levels and temperatures in the high 80s (°F). The rapids were thrilling—we tackled two class 5s—and the warm sun and water made it even better. Wet suit tanks are provided, but I recommend bringing your own river shoes or go barefoot. There’s a secure valuables box, so bringing your phone, keys, or wallet is no problem. Though I've only done four other white-water rafting trips, Melvin has been the most impressive guide by far. The safety talk was more thorough than others I've experienced, and we even practiced in the river before starting. While we didn’t need to use any of the safety tips (thanks to Melvin's skill), I appreciated how comfortable the crew made us feel. Oh, and the lunch afterward was fantastic. Overall, an excellent experience completed with complimentary photographs and an EPIC video in your inbox at the end. Huge thanks to our incredible guides—Melvin, Stanford, Babyface, Boyd, and Peter! If you’re still reading and decide to visit, make sure to ask about the origin of 'Sticky's' name and let us know the story. Cheers -- Alexis and Daniel

Unforgettable and just awesome - This is a true rafting experience where you feel the power of the rapids. We felt in excellent hands with our guide and safety kayaks. Attention to details, safety briefing and training set this experience apart - especially when rafting with your family! Amazing scenes, interesting history and rapid names, but most of all fun! Than you for an unforgettable experience.
