Nice trip but overpriced

4.00We enjoyed our sunset trip on the Riversong. Pick up from the hotel, nice furnishings, great staff and saw some wildlife. However, the cruise described itself as serving premium drinks including cocktails but were unable to provide Pina Colada, Mojito's, Martini's or Daiquiri's and the makes of spirits were basic. Cruise lasted 2 hours. As we did enjoy it we decided to do another sunset cruise 2 days later, but went for a basic cruise with Wild Horizons. We were shocked that the boat was just as nice, the drinks provided were the same, the food was just as good and was served on proper plates with cutlery and not just in your hand as on the Riversong, and the cruise lasted half an hour longer until the sun had properly set. The driver seemed more willing to go out of his way to get you up close to wildlife and get great photos of the sunset. Save your money and go on the cheaper cruise.
Perfect end to the day

5.00This was the perfect ending to a long day, we were served Gin and tonics and various cocktails along with a light taster menu of local delicacies . It was very tasty and also catered for the vegan amongst us. We relaxed and took in the mighty Zambezi as our guide gave a very knowledgeable talk. The sunset was incredible..well worth it !
Wonderful peaceful sunrise

5.00This was a great trip to see the river and animals wake up. Coffee muffins liqueur and comfy chairs. Not many people are early risers which made this trip have a special atmosphere. Took some amazing photos of the sunrise. Preferred to evening cruise if you are just choosing one.
