The experience

The Zambezi cruise departs at 4pm on your arrival day, giving you time to settle into your lodge before heading to the river. The boat runs for three hours as the light drops, and the wildlife comes out to drink: elephants and hippos move along the banks while birds work the shallows. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks flow throughout, paired with snacks, so you're watching the sunset with a drink in hand rather than planning dinner. The boat returns you to your accommodation by evening.

The next morning at 8am, a private transfer collects you for the Falls tour. A guide leads a two-hour walk through the rainforest, where you approach the waterfall on foot and stand directly in front of the 1.7-kilometre drop. The path takes you past the David Livingstone statue and through the market, and mineral water is served throughout. If you want lunch, the Lookout Cafe sits nearby and is yours to add on. Otherwise the tour ends back at your lodge by midday.

Entry fees to the Falls are included in the package, as is all transport between your accommodation and both activities. The guide speaks your choice of English, Spanish or French, and the combo is built around the two things Victoria Falls visitors come for (the river and the waterfall itself) stacked into a single arrival-day-plus-one rhythm that leaves the rest of your trip open.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (9 to 10 years); Child (4 to 8 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What wildlife will I see on the Zambezi cruise?

Elephants and hippos are the main sightings along the riverbanks, with active birding throughout the three-hour float. The exact animals present depend on the season and water levels, but the cruise is timed to catch them at their most active as the light fades.

How close do you get to Victoria Falls on the guided tour?

The rainforest walk brings you directly in front of the waterfall for a head-on view of the full 1.7-kilometre drop. You walk along the water's edge and stand at vantage points where the spray and roar are immediate, not distant.

Are the drinks on the sunset cruise alcoholic, or can I choose?

Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served aboard the Zambezi cruise, so you can choose what suits you. Snacks come with both options.

Do I need to book the lunch at the Lookout Cafe, or is it included?

Lunch at the Lookout Cafe is optional and available to purchase separately during the Falls tour. The guided walk and mineral water are included. Food beyond that is your choice.

What time does each activity start, and will I have time to rest between them?

The sunset cruise departs at 4pm on day one and returns by evening. The Falls tour picks you up at 8am the next morning, giving you a full night to rest at your lodge before the guided walk begins.

Is the rainforest walk difficult, or suitable for most fitness levels?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The walk is two hours through the rainforest on marked paths, and the route is wheelchair accessible, so mobility is not a barrier to the experience.
