Review of: Raft the Zambezi
My daughter and I rafted the river on a full-day trip. Equipment was excellent, training briefing good, and our guide Emmanuel was fantastic. At no point did we feel unsafe even while going through Class 4+ rapids. Great day all around.

Review of: Raft the Zambezi
Great guides and great white water experience. The rapids were level 4 or less and not unpleasant. Our boat remained upright the entire trip. The other boat flipped once with all u on board getting wet. All safely back on board. They do a great job of making sure everybody is safe. You will have a guide on a kayak following each boat for rescue purposes. The rafting was my first on a river this large and fast. Beautiful water. Be prepared for the physical hike down to the river and back up at the end of the rafting. I’m not sure how far down the river is but I would predict a good 500 feet. The trip down is on concrete stairs which are all of different sizes and a bit challenging. Your legs will feel it at the bottom. Upon reaching the end of the rafting you will have to climb back up via a winding steep rocky trail that takes about 45 minutes to complete.…

Hi Steve, Thanks you for taking the time to write a review of your rafting experience with Safpar. We are very pleased to hear you felt safe at all times and you enjoyed the rafting trip. The hike into and out of the gorge is steep and can be challenging, however the hike is well worth the rafting. Warm regards The Safpar team

Review of: Raft the Zambezi
I have now rafted the Zambezi with SafPar twice - once in 2013, once in 2022. Both experiences were incredible. In 2013 I did a full day (dry season) and in 2022 I did a half day (rain season). The staff was incredible both times. I couldn't recommend this more. Great staff, amazing river, great equipment, felt very safe (even when we flipped over!), met good people, got amazing professional photographs, and just really enjoyed myself. Such a cool way to experience this beautiful river and the falls.…

Dear Jason, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your second rafting experience with Safpar. It is great that you returned to Livingstone for a second visit, and you experienced low water and high water, both very different rafting trips. We hope to see you again for another rafting trip in the future. Warm regards, The Safpar team.
