Highlights
- Victoria Falls - As you cruise on the upper Zambezi River, you will also see the mist rising up from the magical Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River is the fourth-longest river in Africa, the longest east-flowing river in Africa and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The 2,574-kilometre-long river (1,599 mi) arises in Zambia and flows through eastern Angola, along the north-eastern border of Namibia and the northern border of Botswana, then along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe to Mozambique, where it crosses the country to empty into the Indian Ocean. The Zambezi’s most noted feature is Victoria Falls.
- Zambezi National Park - This park consists of 40km of the Zambezi River frontage and a spread of wildlife, rich inland mopane forest and savanna. Zambezi National Park is conjoined with Victoria Falls National Park and both parks cover an area of 56 000 hectares. A wide variety of larger mammals may be found within the park. If you are lucky you might come across animals such as hippos, elephant, crocodiles, kudus as you cruise on the Zambezi River.

What a wonderful experience! - We have been traveling through Africa on a budget but splurged on the Signature Deck for the Zambezi Sunset Cruise and the dinner afterwards. Fortunately we had walked about ten miles that day so we were prepared to eat! And eat we did.
First of all, the Pure Africa boat was so much nicer and more comfortable than any other out there on the water. In addition to the deck chairs and tables under the sun, there were couches and stuffed chairs in the shade. Everyone had a little section that afforded comfort and privacy. We saw lots of hippos and zebra and gazelles at the end. The appetizers and drinks were great as well as the staff on the boat!
Then, we sat under the stars and enjoyed a wonderful potjie dinner. The flavors were amazing and the food was plentiful! It was a multi course meal with soup and dessert. We loved it all and would definitely recommend!

The beautiful Zambezi river - We thoroughly enjoyed the Zambezi river sunset cruise. The views were beautiful, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The boat was lovely and canapés of a high standard. Dinner was on land on the river front. Our 3 course dinner was delicious and the staff were lovely. We would highly recommend this activity to anyone interested in doing a river cruise with dinner.

Fantastic. - We had a fabulous time on the sunset cruise (signature deck). The Pure Africa team were fabulous. Great communication before the activity and great service during the cruise. The food on the cruise was probably enough (signature deck) but we managed some of the delicious potjie dinner as well.
