4.00A well organised trip on the whole, pick up happened on time from the hotel, comfortable transport, we were met by some African singers who serenaded us onto the boat, they added to the experience, gratuities can be made. The boat was clean, one guide and one driver aboard, we were given drinks, all free, and some food, which I believe may have given me a tummy bug, but I am not certain. We saw elephants play fighting, some birds, some hippo noses, the sunset was beautiful. A worthwhile trip.
Beauty and bewilderment

5.00It was warm and fuzzy, with jovial conversation with fellow passengers, on a mesmerising sunset cruise guided by Nigel and the team - such a treat - and the 2 - hour tour felt wayyyyy to short which is jam packed with beauty and wonder.
Amazing

5.00A great fun experience on the river. From hotel pick up to drop off, we felt welcomed and valued as guests. A good-sized boat. Lovely tasty snacks and unlimited drinks, soft and alcohol based. The captain and Mosses the 2IC were fantastic hosts. We saw a lot of Hippos and had a close encounter with a young bull elephant. A wonderful relaxed evening.
Nice

3.00A crew is friendly. The drinks keep flowing. They even give you a little complimentary snack but I received a message before I got on board. Then I had to pay a $10 Park fee. I'm the only one that I was approached for that. Not sure why so I'm a little upset because of that
Nice conclusion, our Zimbabwe Zambia trip

5.00A really wonderful evening, seeing Hippos, Crocodiles and various Birds along the Zambezi. Highly recommend. The Captain ensured we stopped as soon as there was anything to see. The First Mate was entertaining, very knowledgeable and supplied flowing drinks & snacks for us. We preferred this cruise to a full sit-down meal, and as there were only 6 of us onboard we had room to walk around, up or down to get the best photos.
