Combining two of our most popular offerings, The Eatery Dinner and Cruise extends your time on the Zambezi River. Commencing with a magical Sunset Cruise on our flagship Zambezi Explorer, meander through the watery wilderness, passing small river islands and lush vegetation with the spray of the Victoria Falls in the background. Once the sun has set and as the skies darken, you’ll head back to the Pure Africa Waterfront for a seamless continuation to your delicious al fresco dinner at The Eatery. One experience that allows you to spend the whole evening and into the night, with us. After all, why choose one when you can have both.

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.

Pure Africa is simply amazing!!

5.00The Pure Africa experience is not be missed! We did the sunset cruise + dinner at The Eatery and were blown away by the superb views, exemplary service and delicious food & drink options. Special thanks to Leon, whose attentive and friendly service was truly outstanding! He’s a great dancer, too :) Since we enjoyed the experience so much, we also booked a sunrise cruise on our last day. Because we were the only people who had signed up, we were treated to a private cruise. The continental breakfast was excellent: yogurt parfait, ostrich carpaccio, fruit kebabs… But most of all, we were impressed by the staff: Captain Yolanda and our waitress Precious who went out of their way to make sure that we had the best experience possible. We were lucky enough to see hippos, crocodiles and so many beautiful birds, not too mention the stunning sunrise!
Wonderful time

5.00We did the dinner sunset cruise yesterday & it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious & the service outstanding. All food & drinks are included in the price. It's a lovely trip to do when in Victoria falls. We were lucky enough to see the hippos too. Thank you to all the staff you are amazing & your singing at the end was beautiful.

5.00Fantastic experience and amazing night. Staff were brilliant and we enjoyed the drinks and the food. The only thing I would change would be the time we had at the Eatery after the cruise. It was too short to enjoy the excellent meal and we felt hurried to finish on time to leave. Otherwise heartily recommended to everyone.
Really really good

4.00Beautiful luxury boat with great wine and food onboard. Tranquil sail down the Zambezi seeing much wildlife as we sailed by. Comfortable clean sofas and chairs and friendly staff make you very welcome. Meal after just by where the ship docks which was a nice touch but a little to dark to see what was on your plate. Maybe a few more candles/lanterns with citronella would do the trick.
A truly memorable river cruise experience.

5.00The afternoon was absolutely pleasant and relaxing. We were lucky to see many hippos and zebras along the river, which made the cruise even more special. The food was really good and the staff were friendly, welcoming and always helpful. The eatery dinner was amazing. The food was truly first-class and beautifully prepared. The people of Zimbabwe are incredibly warm and hospitable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely an activity not to be missed
Romantic view of the Zambezi

5.00This was an amazing experience, one of my most memorable in Afica. It was so nice to relax on the river. I highly recommend this combined with the restaurant on the bank. The ostrich steak was amazing!
