My boyfriend and I SUCH an amazing time! The entire experience was seamless, perfect, breathtaking, and just surreal. Everything was perfect. The weather was perfect. The sunset was absolutely stunning. We left at the perfect time. Got back at the perfect time, pick up drop off, dinner being included, drinks being included. Everything was perfect. I would 100% do this again and highly, highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience a sunset cruise. Book. This. Company. You will NOT be disappointed.
Would highly recommend.

The staff was exceptional and the cruise on the river was beautiful and relaxing. The snacks and drinks provided were enough to count as dinner. My only criticism was that the passengers had to look for animals (hippos, crocs, etc) pretty much on our own. Would have liked the animals pointed out to us, and searched for a bit more.
Perfect everything. Very good experience with valuable staff, cooperative, and willing to serve you. Very clean, and nice food

The top deck of the boat was special and the staff were very friendly and canapé’s were enough for us.

We splurged for the upper open deck! Well worth the little bit extra cost. Very slow, calm ride down the Zambezi, flanked both Zim & Zam :) Cocktails were lovely, appetizers were ok when we weren’t missed. Sailed toward sunset and saw some elephants, a crocodile and a couple of lions along the shores. Staff were polite and very courteous. Definitely the nicest boat on the river and the only one with 3 decks.

There are multiple companies who provide sunset cruise. The major differences are the boats each of the provider use. To Do Africa’s boat is among most luxury. It was the major reason we chose it. Their services, the drinks and snacks included were good.
Not the best night on the water

Tim the cruise thinking we would see wild life in their natural setting on the river. Very little wildlife to see. Staff did point out things as we passed them. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Bask in the ambience of a sunset cruise and enjoy the magic of Zambezi river
