Had a once in a lifetime experience to do white water rafting with wonderful scenery working together to ride the wave. - We recently engaged Mavumina Safaris and Tours in Livingstone for a white-water rafting adventure, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! As someone who isn’t very confident in challenging activities like this, I was initially very nervous—especially about the possibility of falling out of the boat.
However, our raft guide, Miyoba, was truly exceptional. He listened to my concerns, reassured me, and went out of his way to prioritize my safety and comfort throughout the entire trip. His professionalism and encouragement allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
The entire team, including the staff - Stick and porters, was incredibly supportive and well-organized. Thanks to their care and guidance, this adventure became one of the best memories of my trip to South Africa.
I highly recommend Mavumina Safaris and Tours for anyone looking to explore white-water rafting in Livingstone, and I can’t recommend Miyoba enough as the best raft guide! Thank you for making this experience so special!

An exhilarating, fun, and memorable day! - Get ready for a deeply memorable, breathtaking, and fun trip! Mavumina Safaris provided the transportation from the hotel, a crew of capable paddlers to round out our raft (this trip only had a few clients on it, and other area firms may cancel your trip if they don't have a raft of full paying clients), and provided an expert river guide. They balanced rafting competence with a fun attitude, offered water, snacks, drybags, and plenty of stories. The four hours on the Zambezi were a highlight of my trip to Zambia.
Be ready for a leg workout! The Zambezi flows through a 200m gorge in the Livingstone area, and the only way to get on the river and back is to climb down and climb back up. The crew allows for plenty of time to navigate down and back up, but when they mention that the climb is the most physically challenging part of the experience they are not joking. It's totally worth it though, as the view from the top of the gorge is magnificent.
This tour company provides services beyond rafting as well. After my rafting they took me on a guided trip through the nearby Mosi-O-Tunya national park, where plenty of giraffes, rhinos, zebras, elephants, and impala were all visible.
Highly highly recommend the rafting experience in general, and Mavumina Safaris in particular!

The Zambezi experience - The trip was amazing, the views were breathtaking.The guides were incredibly professional but so much fun as well.
We could not have asked for a more exceptional group of people to bring us down the mighty Zambezi. They had so much knowledge about the river, and got us through some crazy grade 5 Rapids, I loved every moment of it.
I was in awe of how much detail is involved in the trip. From the types of paddling, to which lines to use on the river, to the grades of the Rapids, the hiking in and out of the gorge e.t.c.
We all especially appreciated how well they got us to all work together as a team, a good reminder of how interdependent we are on each other. Each of our efforts were needed to ensure we had a successful trip.
This was so much more than just a trip for me, it was something I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Thank you Mavumina for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience and crew! - My wife and I absolutely loved our rafting experience! It was just the right balance of quite thrilling yet not overwhelming activity, particularly if you haven't done any rafting before. The river gorge is very beautiful and seeing it from down below is, in itself, worthy of your time. The best thing though was the team - Captain Ayoba, Friday, Clement, Cholwe and Stick - a very Good One!:) They clearly love what they do and love working with each other. They are a funny, friendly bunch that is also very professional when it comes to safety and just know their stuff extremely well. If you are on the fence about rafting - do it and do it with Captain Ayoba and his crew:) you won't regret it!
