★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 243 reviews · from $140 a head Our pick

Start with hotel pickup, breakfast, and a safety briefing before rafting 14 miles through the Zambezi Gorge. Choose an oar, stern-mount, or paddle raft, depending on conditions and ability. Guides such as JB, Terence, Pumba, and Silent lead the way, while lunch and an open bar await after the steep climb out.

“This was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I highly recommend using this rafting company. Having completed white water experiences multiple times, I can definitively say this is the best destination I’ve ever rafted. The staff was professional, courteous, and outrageously fun. Transportation and communication throughout the experience was stress free and the meal served after was one of the best I had throughout my vacation in Africa. If you go, be sure to ask for Terence as he was a wonderful guide who will take great care of you!”
