Epic multi day trip down the Zambezi
We recently completed the 4 days and 3 nights rafting down the Zambezi and it was an unforgettable experience. Enock, James and the rest of the team made sure everything ran perfectly for the entire trip and I only wished we did a few more days. The experience of the team make the whole trip super safe and enjoyable. The scenery gets better and better and the camping locations were stunning. I would recommend Maano Adventures to anyone and would not hesitate going again.

An amazing multi day trip
4 days and 3 nights rafting down the Zambezi was incredible! Enock, James and the whole team from Maano Adventures went out of their way to ensure we had a great trip. It was the perfect blend of white water adrenalin and relaxing on the secluded white sandy beaches of the river. With James as our guide we were in safe / experienced hands for the entire trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Response from the operator: Dear Emma. We are humbled and delighted to hear that you had amazing experience. Good to know that the guides deed the best job. So excited to hear that your multi day of 4 days 3 nights was incredible. Happy to know that all the team was amazing. Will continue to work hard to the best of our clients. Stay blessed and take care.

3 days escape to Livingstone
Enoch helped to organise 3 brilliant days in Livingstone The Chobe day tour to Botswana was well organised and a brilliant experience. Getting so close to the animals was surreal The full day rafting was a thrilling experience which was led by Henry, Soldier and Clement, all of whom were fun but at the same time reassuring The Angels pool trip in high water levels, or Devils pool in low water levels was a must for anyone coming through Livingstone Thank you Maano adventures
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the review, we are glad to hear from you. kind regards

Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Livingstone is not rushed.
Is Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Livingstone can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Livingstone within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Livingstone?
+
On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Livingstone?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Livingstone?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip)?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 65 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Zambezi River Whitewater Rafting 5 Days 4 Nights(Multi day Trip) offered in?
