It is a wonderful way to unwind and take in the breath-taking splendor of the Zambezi River. There are great photo opportunities and you’ll be able to capture the breath-taking African Sunset during Victoria Falls Tour.

The cruise is one of the most popular Activities In Victoria Falls and is suitable for everyone. It is a fun family activity as well as a romantic and relaxing way to spend your time with loved ones.

What to expect ?

You will be picked up from your hotel or lodge and taken to the jetty site. There, you will receive a safety briefing from your captain or guide then shortly after, you will commence your cruise on the mighty Zambezi. Drinks and snacks will be served and are all included so you don’t have to pay extra. The drinks are unlimited, and you can drink as much as you can.

You can expect to spot plenty of wildlife within the river itself and along its banks. The African sunset is one of the major highlights and gives incredible photo opportunities during Victoria Falls Tour. You will be cruising 2km away from the falls and will be able to see the spray from a close distance.

What times are the cruises available ?

Sunset Cruises begin at 4 o'clock in the winter (May through August) and 4.30 in the summer (September-April). Depending on how close your hotel is to the jetty site, pick-up from your hotel will occur sooner than these timings. The cruises are around two hours and include transportation to and from your lodge/hotel.

Dinner cruises start at 4:30 in winter and then at 5 in summer. The cruise lasts for about 3 hours, and you will be out of the river shortly after 8pm.

What will you see on the cruise ?

The larger boats often travel upstream for a short distance before turning around and returning gently, allowing you plenty of time to see your surroundings. There are lots of crocodiles and hippos to see, and the birdlife is amazing. You will frequently witness elephants crossing the river to access the abundant vegetation on the islands. Elephants are good swimmers so this is a very common sighting. Other common sights include giraffes, baboons, and other wildlife.

For most of the cruises, you will get to cruise on both the Zimbabwean side and the Zambian side. You will be in between Zambezi National Park and the Mosi oa Tunya National Park. This allows you to see more animals than expected and on rare occasions, a python has been seen in the waters of the Zambezi.

The fact that none of these cruises offer a view of the falls does perplex and disappoint some tourists. All cruises are located above the actual Falls, so all you will see is their rising spray. Because of the strong currents towards the falls, big boats are not allowed to go close to the falls but will only remain upstream.

Which Type of Boat will be used ?

Boat sizes for Zambezi Sunset Cruises range from large boats that can hold 120 or more passengers to smaller, essentially private boats that can accommodate 8 to 10 individuals. If you desire a larger or smaller boat experience or have a specific size in mind, check in advance and ask about the boat and its size when making your reservation.

Additionally, some boats are more opulent than others, some are more antique, older vessels that have their own allure. The experience differs greatly depending on the number of people and companions you share the sundowner cruise with, and each boat has its own special experiences.

Sunset And Dinner Cruise ?

This is one of the most unique and special moments you can ever have. A small number of the luxurious cruise liners have been granted permits to provide Sunset Cruises that are followed by meals on the river. After taking advantage of all that a sunset cruise has to offer and the sun has sunk beyond the horizon, you can stay on the river and eat while gazing at the stars that have taken its place.

Dinner cruises will demonstrate to you that the sky is a wilderness just as big as the African plains. While cruising peacefully through a blue and silver universe, eating delectable food and wine, it can be difficult to distinguish where the river ends and the night sky begins.

These cruise ships are incredibly well-liked, and for good reason because they provide excellent value.
