Best fun I have had in years - Amazing. If you like a rush, you have to do this. Best river rafting I have ever done. It was a wild ride. The river was low and the rapids exciting. 21 rapids in total. The trip is run very professional and we felt very safe, even though the water looked scary at times. There were 3 safety kayaks to fish you out in case you fell in. You have to be ok for hiking up to the ridge after the ride on the water. Our whole group managed no problem. It is a fun day, an exciting day, a tiring day and I will definitely do it again should I find myself back in Livingston. After the trip we got a lot of Fotos for FREE. That alone is amazing. I will put some with this review. Thanks to the team for giving us such an amazing day and for taking care if us so well.

Professional and exhilarating White Water rafting down the Zambezi with Safpar. - we booked our White-water rafting trip with SAF-PAR (Safari-par-excellence) and we were fortunate enough to have a highly competent guide in the name of Emmanuel. We had an absolute blast and were entertained by Emmanuel as we traversed the Zambezi rapids. The raft was in great condition, Emmanuel ensured we were all safely trained in terms of what to do in the event one of us fell off or if the raft capsized. We simply had a spectacular and exhilarating trip down the river. Thank you Safpar!!

Adrenaline rush! - We made the impressive descent of the Zambeze River from rapid 1 to 21. What an adrenaline descent, the best rafting descent we’ve done on the planet! Stunning landscape! Our guide, Boyd, and all our team were impeccable, the perfect balance between safety and the best water vein. To put on the to-do list at least once in your life...

River float above Victoria Falls - We were driven from Victoria Waterfront Resort for 30 minutes upstream. The team were great and informative throughout. Support from Francis the driver and Nyamo(excuse my spelling) who went on to final picnic spot after dropping us at the start. We were in a larger inflatable raft oared by Titus and Emmanuel paddled a smaller craft as support and a spotter. It was hard work for the men as there was a strong easterly breeze against them even though we were going downstream. Both men were knowledgeable about all the wildlife and local geography. It was a beautiful way to a large array of wildlife, especially birds. It was also good to chat about Zambian life and politics. They kindly dropped us off in Livingstone where we visited the eponymous museum. In the evening we went on a sunset cruise with the same company but with different guides and we’re lucky enough to see 2 elephants swim across the Zambezi
