Rafting with the best

Carel_V, Oct 2025

A hats off to Choongo & his team, Julius, Dexter, Emma, Aron, Davis & Melvin, for giving us an experience of a life time. White water rafting the mighty Zambezi has always been & dream & these guys made it a reality. The adrenaline rush through the 21 rapids & the beauty of the gorge is indescribable. With this team we had the best, with safety being their top priority, without removing the fun. A trip I would highly recommend. Thanks guys....
