Rafting - a top trip! - We had a wonderful half-day rafting from stage 10 to 25 of the Zambezi. It was exciting throughout, the scenery spectacular and Melvin was a great oarsman. We took our time ascending and descending into the gorge, and the journey was fun too. We also received some spectacular photos afterwards. A top trip!

The most amazing company. - We didn’t go on the white water cruise but rather a Zambezi raft float down stream. The guides were incredibly knowledgable about the local wildlife and fauna and obviously very close with the land, worried about global warming etc. With that said they were in no way preachy about it. They made sure that we saw all the animals we could, slowing down and turning the raft to make spotting them easier. Nothing was too much too much trouble for them and they provided lots of drinks and food, making sure we had drunk enough and were comfortable. Well done Titus and Davies I cannot remember our drivers name sadly (Osi?) who set up the picnic before we arrived. But all three of them were super friendly and helpful. We have booked quite a few different things with Safpar and all communications etc were so easy and friendly. Well done team.

Adrenaline, Adventure, and Laughter on the Zambezi! - We went rafting on the Zambezi River last week and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel safe and welcome. The adventure started with a 1 km hike down, which was already a fun challenge. Once on the river, things escalated quickly — just 15 minutes in, we flipped over and had what felt like a near-death experience! But despite the shock, it was absolutely thrilling and we laughed a lot. Truly an epic day.

Most Exhilarating Raft Ride Ever - The rapids we did were Category 4 to 2 and were the hardest but most exhilarating rapids I have ever done. Boyd and crew took exceptional care of me from beginning to end. The views and experience will be one i always remember.

Great experience and unique views - A great experience and opportunity to take in the beauty of the gorges. The water is high in April, and Boyd navigated us through the rapids expertly. The climb into the gorge and particularly back out is physically taxing, especially on a hot day. I am a relatively fit 60 something, and caution those who are out of shape.

Incredible experience with some serious adrenaline along the way - I had been told this was an epic experience but nothing quite prepared me for it... After the first rapid I was actually terrified but they became easier and easier as we went along. The ONLY reason they became easier was because of our guide Boyd who was incredibly calm and very experienced. This is an unforgettable experience and must be on your list when at Vic Falls. However only if you're reasonably fit and a good swimmer!

Awesome River Rafting Experience - We took staff to Vic Falls for an incentive trip and did the River Rafting with Safpar. From the start, it was beyond amazing. The guides, specifically Boyd was brilliant! He knew those rapids extremely well and made it a memorable experience! After the River Rafting, had a great lunch at their restaurant with drinks! Would definitely recommend Safpar for River Rafting!
