Victoria Falls Sunset Cruise: Zambezi River with Gourmet Canapes

‹
Victoria Falls Sunset Cruise: Zambezi River with Gourmet Canapes★★★★★★★★★★ 4.77 (192)2hA two-hour sunset cruise on the upper Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, departing from Victoria Falls with hotel pickup included. You board The Zambezi Explorer, a three-deck cruiser with the Signature Deck serving gourmet hors d'oeuvres and cocktails mixed to order, or the Luxury Decks offering lounge seating and snacks. A live English-speaking guide narrates the river as you pass through Zambezi National Park, where wildlife including hippos, elephants and crocodiles move along the banks while the mist from Victoria Falls rises ahead.Is it for me?Book the Signature Deck if you want the gourmet service and uppermost vantage point; choose a Luxury Deck if you prefer relaxed lounge seating and a quieter pace while the same river and wildlife pass by. Both decks run the same two-hour window and see Victoria Falls, so the choice is about where you want to sit and what level of service suits your evening.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −50%fromUS$ 72View ›
