One of the very best rafting rivers in the world
River rafting is Maano Adventures signature event. It's a top-rated and spectacular experience to river raft along the Zambezi River starting at the Victoria Falls and following the beautiful Batoka Gorge, the natural border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. This 30 kilometer long 25-rapid rafting track (class 3-5) will keep you glued to the edge of your seat.
There is always great rafting to be found with Maano Adventures throughout spring and summer. For more relaxed trips we offer scenic float trips of either half or full day down the Zambezi river surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Rafting the Zambezi, the beast of Africa
The Zambezi River in Zambia and Zimbabwe is considered one of the very best rafting rivers in the world, together with Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, and the Douro River in Portugal. The Zambezi is the fourth longest river in Africa, and runs through six countries. The 30 kilometer long rafting section runs through the Batoka Gorge below the Victoria Falls and includes 25 rapids.
The Zambezi is like a Beast of Africa, the most immense and powerful whitewater rafting with grade 4 and 5 rapids . Each rapid matches the intensity of the one before it, delivering relentless force. The towering, fast-paced rapids give way to kilometer-long pools, offering enough time to catch your breath and brace yourself for the next surge.
Are you a first time rafter?
If you are new to rafting the half day or full day rafting tour is an excellent introduction to the exhilarating adventure. All of the guides have 10 year+ experience on the river and will prepare you for the adventure, selecting the proper gear for you, give you rafting instruction and a full safety briefing. When you are on the water a safety kayaker is there following the raft, ensuring everyone stays safe.
