5A must do experience
Professionally run adventure- very exhilarating
5Great day out on the rapids
A combination of being exhilarated and terrified at the same time, but such fun. A great team approach, captain boyd keeps you focussed on the rapids and steers you through, the guys in the kayaks keep a close eye, lots of great photos, a great day out.
5Trip of a lifetime!
These guys are super safe and fun! Great instructions on each rapid and lots of safety kyakers to help. I have worked as a raft guide for 27 years and they do it right! The videos and pictures are all included and very good quality. Top notch guides and company!
5What a day!
Absolutely brilliant!!! As a non-swimmer I never thought that I would ever experience anything like this especially as I am 67. It was a wonderful day - everything was perfect and worked perfectly from pick-up to drop-off to subsequent photos and videos. These guys have been doing it a while and they certainly know how to run things. Thanks to Boyd and Davis and the rest of the team. Everyone should do this if they can - just beware of the walk in to the gorge and walk out. It's not easy.

Wow what an exhilarating experience, our captain Emmanuel was professional, experienced and very knowledgeable of the river and surroundings. My son and I had an absolute blast. Very well organised. Highly recommended this activity!! 😁

About Livingstone
Livingstone is a Zambian town on the Zambezi River, a few kilometres from Victoria Falls, with a colonial centre, wildlife and river adventures.
Livingstone stands on the northern bank of the Zambezi, about ten kilometres from Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke That Thunders. The town grew after the railway arrived in 1905 and was capital of Northern Rhodesia until 1935. It is named after David Livingstone, who in 1855 became the first European to see the falls, and the Livingstone Museum holds his letters and local history.
Top-ranked sights in Livingstone: Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Devil's Pool, Livingstone Museum.
