Overview

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.

5.00Fantastic dinner drinks and view on the Zambezi river. I highly recommend this trip from Pure Africa, our boat was, others were just half full or less. I think it’s because of the quality on this trip

5.00One of the best sunset dinner cruises I've experienced to date! Sunset on the Zambezi River, Zambia side was worth it. Viewing Buffalos, a warthog, Hippos and so much more. Eating great food and drinking fabulous wine was worth every penny of the price. Thank you

4.00Beautiful river cruise. Wear shades for the first hour, as the sun has not set. The dress is smart casual. The food was delicious! Be patient because the food is given to you when cooked. Eat a light something before you go. You will see birds, hippos and crocodiles.
An Amazing Experience

5.00This was such a treat. A lovely dinner with great service and open bar. The set up was absolutely beautiful. Seeing the animals as we cruised was a bonus treat - impalas, crocodiles and hippos! The cruise was peaceful, serene and a perfect end to my trip. The song performed by the staff at the end was lovely. Highly recommend this experience!
