- David G0 contributionsZambezi Rafting Day outGreat Day out rafting the Zambezi with Shockwave. Interesting descent & ascent to the rafting - not for the faint hearted or unfit. Rafting itself great with OG guiding us down on our raft. Thanks to Mr Nice Guy for the pictures & great 15 minute video.Written 7 February 2025
- jaredcS7912BY0 contributionsThe Best Excursion in Victoria FallsWhat an incredible way to experience the Zambezi river and falls. The rafting trip was an adventure that involved hiking and various levels of extreme rapids. The folks at Shockwave Adventures are fantastic guides and this was by far our favorite excursion in Victoria falls. I highly recommend booking this trip and also am very happy with the video and photos that were purchased.Written 6 February 2025
- Anna E0 contributionsAmazing experienceAbsolutely amazing! If you are reading this, searching for a rafting tour in Vic falls, no further scroll requires! This tour offered an adventerous experience, but did not for a second felt insecure. The guides was really proffesional, and at the same time, very laid back, humorous and made everybody feel comfortable and relaxed. The surroundings were absolutely stunning. The hike up and down to the river was challengeing, but considering the staff carried the boat the same way I am not about to complain ^^. You should book this tour!Written 24 January 2025
- aadarshinip0 contributionsBeautiful 😍This was one of the most life time memories i had in my life. The guides were exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring that I had the best possible experience. I truly felt they had my best interests at heart throughout the journey, Thanks Pumba and JB for make this possible.Written 10 January 2025
- andrew s0 contributionsFantastic experience - definitely recommend themThis was excellent! We went as a family of 5 including our 14 year old. We went at low water level so did all 21 rapids over a full day. As an extra we swam under the Falls themselves at the start - this was other worldly and sensational. A tricky scramble across wet rocks and then hammered in the plunge pool whilst looking directly up at the falls. The rapids themselves are sensational. Just magical. It’s a tough walk down/ up the gorge to get there and hard work but simply great fun. As a company they were excellent. Collected us from our hotel and managed us through. Safety was good and the most important person our pilot was excellent - safe, big boat and guided us through. Great with teenagers too. Not top end glam on t shirts, food and equipment but all good. We would definitely do this with them againWritten 23 December 2024
- 258timu0 contributionsAmazing full day rafting tripWe had a fantastic full day rafting trip with the Shockwave crew. They are very experienced, know the river very well and we felt we were in very capable hands throughout. They are also a great group of guys and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend them.Written 21 December 2024
- Brian S0 contributionsAwesome Experience!The Shockwave crew was AMAZING!!! Pumba, JB, Taps, and the whole team were informative and upbeat for very exciting and scenic adventure down the river. One note, the put-in and take-out were a bit more strenuous than the original listing mentioned. Especially the put-in is a basically vertical descent from the Victoria Falls Bridge to the river. For acrophobics that could be a bit triggering. But the trip was well worth it! Overall, I would recommend to anyone I know. 10/10Written 1 December 2024
- 746leoz0 contributionsA Bucket-List Adventure!This was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life! The crew, led by OJ, was highly professional, prioritizing safety while making us feel like part of a team with their sharp humor. I was nervous about my limited swimming skills, and Rapid #18 ("Oblivion") was intimidating when the raft flipped. But the excellent instructions, safety gear, and quick response from the crew made it safe and exciting. The 21-kilometer stretch through the Zambezi Valley Gorge was stunning, with breathtaking scenery and rocks that felt like a glimpse into ancient history. For a lifetime thrill, I highly recommend Shockwave Adventure’s whitewater rafting—and definitely get the photo package to capture the amazing memories!Written 28 November 2024
- jadin_220 contributionsBEST DAY EVERThis was the best day of my life. Truly an irreplaceable experience. After looking at the Zambezi from the national park the day before, climbing down into the gorge to raft the rapids ourselves was incredible. We first paddled up to a spot where you could look up the canyon at the falls - so cool! We floated 18 named and numbered rapids, and more that were unclassified. Our guide TT was hospitable, fun, and insanely talented (we never flipped). Saw a monitor lizard on some riverside rocks but no crocs or hippos. The hike back out of the gorge is super steep, definitely physically demanding, but you’re met with a tasty lunch and cold drinks at the top. I could not recommend this trip more!Written 27 November 2024
- MytravelRNlife0 contributionsBest Rafting We've Ever DoneWe had the best, most exhilarating time rafting EVER with JB and the Shockwave team. They were quick to communicate and book us on a last minute trip, thorough with the safety briefings and descriptions of rapids prior to going over them, and made it fun! We even got to swim in the river and do some cliff jumping. Of all the rafting that my boyfriend and I have done, this was the largest thrill and best experience. I also really liked that they had a half day option because most other companies only had a full day. Highly recommend Shockwave!Written 26 November 2024
- Quaid G0 contributionsIncredible tripThe guides and company are so professional and absolutely know what they’re doing. The river stretch is just incredible with huge waves and warm water and the guides are able to take you through the biggest waves or skirt around some of them to vary the level of carnage you preferWritten 22 November 2024
- Francine S0 contributionsWhite Water Rafting ZimbabweJB and Pumba were amazing! This was the best white water rafting trip I’ve ever had. Although the activity was good, it was our guides that made it great! I would definitely recommend!!Written 22 November 2024
- alanfittinghoff0 contributionsAll I can say is WOW !!!!This was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time . The guides were professional and passionate, and I felt had my best interests at heart . This is not a luxury experience, but if you're looking for an absolute thrill, a minute expethis is for you . I highly recommend it , just understand and know that the hike/climb out of the gorge is not for everyone.Written 12 November 2024
- ShannonH2980 contributionsWhat a rude!The rafting was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better guide than James. Being an experienced white water rafter the rapids were absolutely amazing 19 of them over half class four & fives they did not disappoint. The climb down and up was a bit much for a 63-year-old, Which I had no idea about until the end. The climb is vertically up-and-down 820 feet with a rough trail to say the least. James my guide carried me on his back three different times going up the trail thank God for him Or I wouldn’t have made it up. I have to wonder why they don’t zigzag the trail instead of having it straight up and down but the resources most likely aren’t there to change it, Although it would make it three times more accessible for people if they did. Definitely a five star experience, but not for people that aren’t extremely physically fit.Written 5 November 2024
- michelelV6239ZR0 contributionsGreat guides, great whitewater, beautiful riverThe company took care of everything, they made it safe and fun. We had a raft that was good for everyone from those who wanted to "GO BIG" to those who wanted a smoother ride. The guides were knowledgeable, hard-working, and fun! The whitewater and the scenery were spectacular. We had so much fun, we came back for another run of the day stretch. I hope I can make it back for another trip.Written 29 October 2024
