River cruises

Few places offer the dramatic sunsets that you'll find on the Zambezi River with plumes of spray and wildlife filling the scene

The  sunset cruise is an essential component of any trip to Victoria Falls. An opportunity to relax with sundowners and snacks on the upper Zambezi River.  Make sure your camera's charged because the sunsets are amongst the best you're going to get in Africa. You're going to have an excellent chance of picking up big game as it comes down to drink after a hot day in Zambezi National Park (Zimbabwe) and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Zambia).

Cruises are available daily on request for breakfast, lunch, sunset and dinner. 

Sightings of elephant, giraffe and other resident game are common. There's always an abundance of hippo and crocodiles. Birdlife is superb and the Fisheagles will usually fill the scene with their calls.  Unless an experienced guide joins the cruise the skipper and crew have good knowledge of the wildlife and local history in the area.

Cruises last for 2 to 3 hours depending on when and where you're launcing from.  Transfers from hotels in both Livingstone and Vic Falls town are included. (*Park Fees excluded - applicable in Zimbabwe)

Breakfast and lunch cruises - US$70 per person
Sunset cruises - US$45 per person
Dinner cruises - US$75 per person (advance bookings essential)

Lodges further upstream the Zambezi in both Zimbabwe and Zambia include sundowner cruises as part of the deal. The upper reaches tend to be quieter affairs than the revelling crowds on a few of the big party boats...they're all great fun!
