If it is your desire to white water raft the Zambezi river, I highly recommend this outfitter. I had a bad situation occur, and this company did everything within their power to make sure I was safe. I am sad to say that I am not healthy or young enough to do this adventure, but man, if you are really... More

Safpar does a excellent job, and has very high safety standards. Good preparation before, and telling us what to do when we flipped. All equipment was very well taken care of and in good condition. Highly recommend this company. They take great pictures / video and offer it after the trip.....no way I'd bring my own camera on the trip... More

We went rafting in low water in November. We were definitely nervous about it as we'd never gone rafting before and these are class 5 rapids.. but honestly, there was nothing scary about it. It's just a blast! We flipped 3 times, at first I didn't want to flip but looking back they were the highlights of the day. Safpar... More

Five of us celebrated by husband’s 40th Birthday with an amazing adrenaline filled full day rafting trip on the mighty Zambezi. The river absolutely deserves to be called mighty and although also quite unforgiving, ensured countless thrills and memories that will last a lifetime. Our guide Vinnie has been with Safpar for something like 18 years and boy were we... More

I've done rafting with SAFPAR in January 2010 and December 2011, and my reaction is still like "WOW! This is just the real deal!" This is class 4 and 5 rapids, so expect some capsizing and too much adrenaline running through your veins! Guides = professionals Rapids = 5* Distance - 30km of pure action! Verdict - Don't think twice,... More

We have been rafting several times on III-IVs but this was another level completely. Saf Par and guides were excellent but unfortunately we flipped on the first rapid and my wife got stuck under the raft. (I think everybody flips on #1 as you have to paddle across the rapids and it slams you into the rock wall under the... More

Safety is priority. Very fun trip. Prepare to get soaked and take a long, long, long quite scary hike up or down a 100m gorge if you do a half-day trip. More

We visited Livingstone in August 2011. We booked our river rafting trip through Bushtracks Africa. The provider was Safpar Rafting Company. The experience was awesome. We went when the water level was not yet "low" accordingly we could not start under the falls and were unable to do rapids 1-7 (understand that they are the more exciting rapids with at... More

One of the reasons we wanted to go to Livingstone (apart from the Falls itself) was to do white water rafting on the Zambezi. We went with Safpar and our experience with them was excellent and we still haven't stopped describing it to anyone willing to listen!! We were picked up in the morning at our lodge and taken to...
