★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 303 reviews · 2 hours · from $69

Review of Victoria Falls’ 2-hour luxury Zambezi sunset cruise, with wildlife, drinks, canapés, deck choices, price tips, and practical advice.

“Picked up from my hotel on time by Violin (yes I did check her name) she explained we would pick up others in the group and then drop us off at the ship. Paid the 10usd fee ahead of boarding and then got shown to my reserved seating. Nice drinks and food served during the trip. Ship was too big to get very close to the shore so maybe consider a smaller boat if you want to get as close as possible to any basking crops. staff on the boat were very friendly and attentive. timing was good to finish with sunset shots.”

Review of Victoria Falls’ Zambezi sunset cruise and three-course dinner, with wildlife, drinks, river views, practical tips, and value advice.

“Beautiful cruise, incredible drink and canapés. I would recommend you do not do the dinner at the Eatery afterwards because you will be already full from the boat canapés - we left most of our food, which was a shame because it was lovely. As did others on the same package. Book the Eatery for a separate day or evening! The pictures you get from the cruise are incredible.”
