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.

5.00This was a perfectly organized cruise trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My table was at the front of upper deck with clear view of the Zambezi river. I mean you can't get a more personal experience. This is a trip where you get to experience and appreciate nature. The food and drinks were amazing. I 100% recommend this cruise during your visit to Victoria Falls.
Great evening cruising along the Zambezi

4.00Such a wonderful evening and seamless from pick up to drop off. The cruise was great and guests were friendly and food/drinks were delish! Got to see some Hippos too. Only bummer was the weather and rain so no sunset, but would definitely recommend!
Two thumbs up!

5.00I booked on the same day I took this cruise, and I wasn't disappointed. The chef was able to accommodate my dietary requirements which I appreciated (make sure to write them in the notes, but also send a message - the cruise operator messaged me). As a solo guest, I didn't feel out of place - there were other solo guests there. There were four courses of beautifully presented, delicious, filling dinner, plus drinks. Be ready to take photos along the way, and use insect repellent. The sun was high when we began, but we finished in the dark with a thunderstorm on the horizon. All staff were attentive, and the evening finished with a couple of traditional songs from the crew. I would do this again,and highly recommend it.
Great experience

4.00Perfect transfer, impressive wildlife watching, nice service. The quality of the food (3 course menu) with four main dishes to choose from varies , not bad, but none of my midisenden said “tasty”. The drink selection was also ok (no coffee). But all by the way with the great animal photos!
Can’t Miss This!

5.00Absolutely fabulous! What a picturesque and relaxing way to spend an evening along the river and a bonus getting to see some of the wildlife along the way. The service, food and attention to detail all made for a very satisfying excursion. We wanted for nothing.
