Maano Adventures is dedicated to ensuring an unparalleled rafting experience on the Zambezi, whether it's the refreshing breezes of spring or the warm embrace of summer.
To ensure your adventure is both enjoyable and worry-free, we recommend bringing essentials such as quick-dry clothing, sun protection, and sturdy footwear—specifically sandals with straps, as flip-flops are not suitable.
Meanwhile, it's best to leave behind items like your passport, jewelry, cellphone, camera, and any other valuables, safeguarding them from the river's unpredictable nature. By following these guidelines, you're set for a seamless and exhilarating adventure, courtesy of Maano Adventures' commitment to excellence in every rapid and turn of the Zambezi River..
