Stunning evening and cruise - Pick up was efficient and we had only a short drive to the boat. The crew were excellent, pointing out crocodiles and birds on the shore. We saw many elephants and hippos. We were offered more drinks and food than we could manage. The photos came out so well. The views at sunset were stunning. Very worthwhile

Relaxing on the River - I booked this sunset cruise independently from my group tour because it was much more affordable and I was very satisfied. I was picked up/dropped off for my lodge, enjoyed both local beer and a mixed drink along with a variety of appetizers placed on individual plates. The staff was very responsive to both decks and made sure we were provided drinks as needed as well as sharing information about the river life. While we didn’t see any elephants, we did spot a few small crocodiles and LOTS of hippos. The sunset was a treat in itself and I wasn’t ready to leave the river or the crew, but alas, our cruise had come to an end.

Such a wonderful... - Such a wonderful experience! Before the cruise, there was a cultural performance with dancing and singing. We cruised down the river, ate and drank, and saw crocodiles and hippos all around. The sunset was beautiful and so peaceful.

The sunset is beautiful - Before the sunset, it was very nice to see the hippos and elephants of the Zambezi River. It was also nice to see the birds leaving in packs. The sun set, but it turned vermilion and was very beautiful.
