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.

Zambezi River Dinner Cruise
Julie F,May 25, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Definitely one of the best evenings of our holiday. The boat was luxurious, very smooth and great service with fabulous food. The drinks were high quality and unlimited. We saw a couple of hippo’s and although there were a few other cruise boats going up and down, ours appeared to be the best quality. The whole experience was relaxed with an unforgettable sunset. Definitely recommended.
Wonderful Evening and Worth the Money

5.00Whilst this activity may at first appear expensive it is great value for money. The food was absolutely fantastic and the wine was free flowing. the sunset was also magnificent.

Great experience

5.00An amazing sunset dinner cruise. The experience was just perfect. Food was exceptional with drinks constantly being topped up. Managed to see Hippos and other wildlife, but just slowly motoring up the Zambezi with the African sun going down, with a glass of red in your hand, was something we will never forget. Highly recommend this tour and I would not hesitate to do it again. It’s great value. You get what you pay for, so do not hesitate to book. This boat was by far the best we saw out of all the other boats on the river.
