    The ride promptly picked us up. It was 10 min drive to the boat. There’s a ten dollar park fee. Few dancers and drummers welcomed all the tourists. There were several boats waiting. Looked like they were filling the boats as people show up. We took upper deck seats. If you want to be in shade lower deck is ideal. The service of the staff was very, very nice. All of them were very friendly and nice. There were snacks along with drinks and a dessert. If you are vegetarian or vegan, make sure you remind your tour operator the night before. We didn’t get any even after mentioning in the reservation. We spotted hippos, few crocs and several birds. The ride was very pleasant and relaxing. Definitely recommend this tour.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Met some new friends and also enjoyed the snacks and drinks. The crew were very hospitable and the skipper was sure that we saw things.

    The end of a long journey⁈Joined on the day of arrival in Victoria Falls. At exactly 16:00, he picked me up from the hotel in a van, which I thought was rare overseas. The ship is full of double-deckers, but ask beans to order drinks, ho. It's not that good, but all the snacks fill you up. It was fun to see all kinds of animals! On the way, it rained and thundered, but I sailed at my own pace (laughs) On the way back, it's hard to know which van to take because the parking lot is pitch black. Tell them the name of the hotel and they will tell you this.

  • Fantastic!

    A spectacular cruise both in Service and Experience. The views are amazing, you can see animals as well as enjoy the promised sunset. The food and drink also help to have a very pleasant time and the attention and explanations of the staff were unblemished. One of the best experiences in Victoria Falls.
