It was an exceptional day with James and the crew making us feel safe and comfortable. Paddling through the Zambezi with everyone was a great day and would recommend this to everyone! We felt looked after and the videographer would go to great lengths to ensure he got the right shots. The effort everyone put into the day was phenomenal. The guides are all locals (being a local company compared to some other places) and were able to provide a lot of information about the area. If you are thinking about going white water rafting - choose manu adventures! If you are staying on the Zimbabwe side please make sure you have the UniVisa.

it was fabulous, there were only three customers in the boat, so they added an experience guy, plus the leader at the back, total 5. Very professional, notable name is James the boss and leader, Clement the spotter Alan additional rower and T Boy the photographer (Who did a fabulous job with a 10 minute video ) and of course most notably Mike the Cook who kept our energy going! A great bunch of guys. We were lucky enough to even spend some time underneath Victoria Falls!!!! it was truly magical

Excellent day trip from lodge pick up and transfer to the Zambia/Botswana border where our excellent guide for the day (Phil) met us and guided us through immigration. Great morning game drive, followed by an excellent 3 course lunch and then a boat / river trip in the afternoon. Saw all of the big 5 except for the elusive leopard!

Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommend! We saw so many elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many more. Our guides were absolutely amazing and nice and the picnic set-up was super cute. They dropped us off at the Zambia/Zimbabwe border so I highly recommend this for anyone staying in Victoria falls Zimbabwe too.

Amazing experience huge rapids, was a thrilling experience. The guide was great and prevented us falling out a few times!
