Our Dinner Cruise offers everything and more. Not only the magical colours of the Zambezi River at dusk but a truly unique four-course dinner served as you savour the splendour of the setting sun. Ideal for food and nature lovers wanting it all. Embark from the Pure Africa Waterfront and head off into the evening. After your favourite drink is poured, you’ll be ushered to your set table where a delectable series of dishes freshly prepared on the boat and paired to premium drinks are served. Silhouettes of elephants against the sunset and hippos noisily grunting in the distance will most certainly add to the ambience.

What To Expect
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.

1.00The link sent on the cruise was broke nor need the cruise show in upcoming tours therefore we assumed it had been canceled until an individual showed up without any warning at 4:30. We were therefore not ready and could not go.

2.00What started well didn’t finish that way. After 2 beers they ran out the starter options left us with the soup as the others ran out. There was a problem with the main as it took for ever for them to serve it. At the end getting from the boat back to the bus was a nightmare as there where no lights u where walking in the dark. What I thought would be a great night turned into a shambles very dissapppinted

4.00The overall experience was amazing. The cruise was calm and peacefu, the menu was great and food was extremely tasty. Pick up and drop off was flawless also. What let the experience down for us, was we felt like we were put in the corner and forgotten about. Wait staff seems to concentrate on the tables closer to the bar or spent more time chatting to each other at the bar then checking in on diners.
Well worth it
