Best Value for Money Cruise - It was comfortable and casual, just how we like it. We received snacks and a small plate of eats. Mine included 2 pieces of grilled chicken, a meatball, a samoosa, and a cheese pastry stick. There was a good variety of drinks. Mphumelelo was great

Best Zambezi cruise crew. - The whole experience was great! We were transported from our accommodation with a neat minibus and friendly driver. At the departure point we were met by Captain Cuben and assistant Phineas - they were very friendly and professional on the whole cruise. They shared a lot off information about the Zambesi River and the animals and birds. The drinks and snacks were of good quality and more than we expected. We saw a lot of animals and experience a marvelous sunset. We will most certainly support them again. Thank you for a wonderful time!
