A great cruise in a great location. - From the moment we arrived at the boat for the cruise we were made very welcome. We had opted for the signature top deck, which was well worth it. The service was top-notch, as was the food and drinks. To start, we were sitting at the front of the top of the deck in hot sun. We are all offered individual umbrellas. The cruise was very interesting.

Perfect introduction to vic falls - Our first outing in vic falls and Jeffrey and Privilege made sure to take care of us. Saw amazing wildlife and the falls from a safe distance. Ended up being a smaller group which was great as we could get closer to the little islands and see more wildlife. Great wine, decent snacks and easy pickup drop off. Would recommend this to anyone as their first introduction to vic falls.

Enchanting Sunset. - The Zambezi River Sunset Cruise was an amazing experience for us, we were picked up from the hotel where we were staying and the narration by the guide on the cruise was apt and awesome, we could spot a few crocodiles, Hippos and unusual birds flying across. We preferred not to have dinner on the cruise as it was not advisable. It's better to reserve in advance and choose a good travel operator, the hotel will help in this regard. The views of Sunset were fantastic and enchanting.

Sunset River Cruise Was The Best - We booked our sunset cruise through Shearwater Adventures. They picked us up at the hotel and took us to the boat. They had complementary soft drinks and a tasty snack. We saw hippos and crocodiles - they were amazing! The sunset topped it all off! So glad we went.

beautiful sunset - You will be picked up at your hotel at a certain time and taken to the river. You will be explained on the boat by an employee and together with all the passengers you will look for the hippos, crocodiles waterfowl and elephants. A cozy trip with the altitude pint the setting sun. During the cruise you will be offered drinks, tasty snacks and dessert. After the cruise they will take you back to your hotel.
