The dinner and atmosphere at the Eatery restaurant was divine and again no extra cost for drinks. Sitting by the water at the fire pit after dinner was a beautiful way to end our wonderful experience. Highly recommend this.”

Relax on a 2.5-hour Zambezi sunset cruise from Victoria Falls, with hippos, crocs, snacks and drinks, plus Smoke views.

“We enjoyed the river cruise on the Zambezi. The boat can take 50 people and has only one deck - this is nice as you can get closer to the animals compared to bigger boat that have two decks. We received a welcome drink and beer and tea during the cruise, in terms of food there were only three small snacks (don’t expect this to be a full dinner). We would still recommend the tour.”

7.Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 57 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $59

2.5-hour Zambezi sunset cruise from Victoria Falls with drinks, light snacks, wildlife spotting, and local stories on the water.

“Good trip. Complimentary bar was available for 2 hours & 45 minutes and no restrictions on what you could drink. Snack of chicken skewer, samosa & spring roll provided, with some nuts. Large boat, with upper & lower decks. Slightly disappointed with the amount of wildlife seen. We saw a fair few birds, a group of hippos and a crocodile. In fairness, as it’s the rainy season, the need for animals to come down to the river is less. Accommodation pick up/drop off worked well. Overall, I was glad that I took this excursion and would rate it as good.”

15.Victoria Falls Safari with Lunch and Sunset Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · 8 hours · from $199

Full-day Victoria Falls safari with guided rainforest views, lunch at Lookout Café, then a Zambezi sunset cruise for wildlife and golden light.

“Nothing goes perfectly planned but the guides (Simon and fortune and boat crew) worked hard to meet the program and tackle unannounced changes created my the management and other not so easy going tourists. Overall, they make up for today’s scarcity of big animals. Suggestions: made 1 option to pay for entry fees in advance.. Also, I noticed that with the heat and humidity kids and some adults can get tired. Perhaps, under the instructions remind customers to pack light snacks and small energy drinks for eventualities.”
