This was the best tour we took. Andrew, Abraham, Soldier, Sedius and Tboy made it a great fun experience. They picked us up right at our Airbnb, on the way there they were extremely friendly and even though it was only the two of us they made sure we were able to do the trip by adding more guides in the raft. When we got there, the captain - Andrew - explained the names of each of the rapids we’d go through and all the safety precautions as well ensuring we’d have a safe but very fun time. They went over the top in making the day incredibly enjoyable, and treated us like we were family.

Operator forgot to pick me up

Carlos_M, Nov 2023

Operator forgot to pick me up at the scheduled time. When I called the phone number in the Viator booking he indicated he was out of the country and that his crew forgot to pick me up. He offered to reschedule for the following day, but that was my last day in Livingstone.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear Carlos. Thank you for writing to us and airling out your views over what happened to you. We are reputable and very responsible company with total commitment and responsibility to our client. That's why we give you the option to join the other group on the next day. If we were not responsible as you put it we could have find another option of putting you into the next day. We asked you if it was OK with you you agreed. We expected a better review from you not what you wrote. Anyway we take full responsibility for the bitterness of tomorrow and the company at large. It is a great lesson to us .we thank you once more for being very open .your review means alot to us.

Louise_S, May 2022

This was a fantastic tour with great people involved! Henry and the team took us through the best experience fully convincing us of the safety and in a very humoristic way! The boat flipped once which was a fantastic experience although also a bit scary but it proved that safety measures were Well in place! Highly highly recommendable and a once in a life experience!
