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.

Just do it. - Had a ball on this trip. Plenty of cocktails were had. I didn't expect to see as many animals as we did as i thought it was more about the sunset, which was spectacular. The snacks were nice but a little light on. The drinks flowed freely and were well made. The staff were good and attentive. The boat was stunning and the seating was great.

Well worth a visit - Very good excursion. Promptly collected from our hotel (Ilala Lodge) for the short drive to the Zambezi. Knowledge and talkative Captain and assistant on our small (max 16) vessel. Drinks and nibbles provided throughout. We cruised to river to search for wildlife - one elephant, many hippos and Nile crocodiles, plenty of birds. Information about these was given constantly. The sunset was beautiful. If you are fortunate enough to visit Victoria Falls then I highly recommend this to you.

Sunset and wildlife - Relaxing trip with great food and drinks whilst watching the wildlife on and around the river as the sun sets. The crew are attentive and helpful and the boat itself is comfortable and well maintained. There was a lovely serenade from the staff at the end.

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.

Zambezi Sunset Cruise Signature Deck - We had a great experience aboard the Pure Africa sunset cruise on the Signature Deck. The Signature Deck itself was beautifully arranged, offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy uninterrupted views of the Zambezi River. The highlight was witnessing the sunset and the perfect photo opportunities. There was a selection of delicious snacks, although the service for drinks was a little slow. Overall, the Pure Africa sunset cruise on the Signature Deck is a great was to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Zambezi.
