The best rafting experience ever! - It is the best rafting experience ever!!! I would like to give a 5 Star rate for it!!! 这是超级棒的一次漂流体验,五星推荐! The captain and the sailors picked us up from the hotel early in the morning and drove us to the starting point where we start our adventure! 船长和船员们会从酒店接我们,并将我们送到起点处,让我们能够从简单的地方开始进行当天的漂流。 It was an amazing trip, which get an “Afternoon Shower” through the rafting trip. 这是一个非常棒的体验,让我们在下午仿佛洗了个澡。 There is no similar rafting in China. So if you come to LivingStone, pls don’t miss this activity. 中国大陆没有这样类型的漂流活动,所以,如果你来到这边旅游,千万别错过哦! By the way, please add the photo and video service if you take part in this activity. The photos and the video is incredible. 另外,如果参加这个活动,一定要让他们帮你拍照和录视频,超级棒!!

Should've done the full day option! - This experience was so much fun! It was my 2nd time rafting and my first time on Grade 5 rapids and it was scary at first but the instructors gave directions and provided clarity to ensure you knew what to do when they called the commands. Andrew commanded our raft perfectly and I was very very happy that we didn't flip over and no one fell out! We went through the first 9 rapids and when they stopped to drop me off and continue with the full day tour, I was sad to end there! I highly recommend this experience.

Amazing Experience! - Amazing trip! Perfect group of guides who took genuine care of us. Everything felt very safe and accessible. They picked us up at the hotel, got us where we needed to go, provided everything we needed and even a lunch after experiencing an amazing stretch of the Zambezi. Highly recommend.

Fun + food + stunning views = happy me - I had an amazing time with these guys today! Maano is a Zambian owned company with a great team. Even if it was just for the view, I'd recommend this. Floating through the gorges was simply breathtaking. In addition to that it was so well organized. They made sure everyone was well hydrated, fed and safe! They've got a great hypeman on board too. I was even able to do some rapids swimming. 10/10 recommend!

The most amazing experience for first timers! Very safe, well looked after - 10/10!! - Summary We had the most amazing time for first timers! Very safe, well looked after - 10/10!! Booking Booking online was nice and simple. We actually booked a few different activities with Maano and being able to book online made a big difference. Good website and secure payment The team For white water rafting, we had a large crew take care of us. We had a great and fun time with the guys looking after us who were up for having a laugh with us - Captain Andrew, Clement, Abraham, T-Boy, America, Amos, Kelvin, Sadius, and a shout-out to Enoch who helped organise many of the activities we did. Would book again in a heartbeat, all the guys were fantastic and very friendly!! The activity It was our first time doing water rafting so I was somewhat scared. Even though I was apprehensive about going in initially, once I was in the river, at no point did I feel unsafe. One of the guys is in a separate kayak near the boat, ready to rescue you if you should fall into the river. The half day starts at rapid 14 and ends on rapid 25. It is exciting and exhilarating, and at some points we were free swimming down the river which felt amazing. Others booking should be aware there is a significant hike up and down the gorge, so be prepared for this. The hardest part of the activity is walking back up after everything, so it can be quite tiring. Despite that, the team brought down water bottles and even helped carry some stuff up for us. Additionally, they deploy a cameraman as part of the crew if you would like to pay for photos and videos. He did an awesome job and we now have great memories to remember the trip by - they did an awesome job editing the video after it was finished. I would totally book to do this again, and highly recommend using Maano Adventures for the other activities they have on offer (we also organized the Mosi-Oa-Tunya Game Drive, Safari Day trip in Chobe, and Sunset River cruise with them - all went super smoothly).

Super trip - We had so much fun on that rafting trip. Manoo adventures organized everything perfectly. The guides were super cool and experienced. I can only recommend this if you want to do rafting in Livingstone

Disappointed they didn't keep their word and had to cancel - I was told they would pick me up at my hotel between 7 and 7:30 am in time for an 8 start. I called at 7:20 am and they asked if I could change my start time to 11 am, which I couldn't as I needed to be at the airport by 4:30 pm. They said they would call me back right away, which they never did. At 8 am, I called them again and asked what was happening and they said they were cancelling my trip. I went back to my hotel room and unpacked. Then a person from the hotel came to my door and said the driver was there to take me but I felt so unconfident in their ability to have me back on time that I didn't go. They didn't keep their word about the trip ... twice. I was extremely disappointed as I had been so excited to do this whitewater rafting trip!
