Croisière sur le fleuve Zambèze
Description
Les croisières au coucher de soleil le long du Zambèze sont un moyen magnifique et extrêmement populaire de faire l'expérience du fleuve. Tous les bateaux, sauf les bateaux à réaction, naviguent sur une étendue de 6 km au-dessus des chutes, des eaux peu profondes et des roches dangereuses les empêchent de s'aventurer plus loin. Bien que vous ne voyiez pas les chutes elles-mêmes pendant une croisière, un nuage de gouttelettes, visible depuis les bateaux, se trouve à l’horizon, couronnant la cascade. Cette section de rivière, qui commence à 3 km au-dessus des chutes, est large et plate et divisée en plusieurs îles. Les hippopotames et les crocodiles résidents sont garantis, tandis que les troupeaux d'éléphants sont souvent vus lorsqu'ils se déplacent d'une île à l'autre à la recherche de nourriture. La vie des oiseaux est phénoménale et les couchers de soleil sont vraiment inoubliables.

Scam alert: Cherish Travel is very possibly bogus Never showed to pick us up, despite us having a confirmation from them. Never answered email through Viator. Never answered their office phone. Never answered their mobile phone. Never answered text messages. Hotel checked for us and there were no bookings with any of the boats on the river

I did my homework before opting for a Zambezi sunset river cruise. Many reviews said it is a must-do for Victoria Falls. That comment was usually coupled with statements about the wealth of wildlife sightings and the beauty of the sunset. Overall, it was a very nice experience. A pleasant and scenic river excursion. However, I could not give it 5 stars because: 1) we did not have a sunset. We were picked up from our hotel at 4pm and the tour lasted about 2 hours. Can you see a sunset before 6pm? Don’t know. We didn’t. Really should not advertise as a sunset cruise if the sailing time (or weather conditions like cloudiness) will not accommodate a sunset. Just call it an evening cruise and let the sunset be a bonus when it happens. 2) The tour included certain alcoholic beverages, which was nice. It also included snacks, but they were not good to me. Snacks: boiled peanuts (which were good), a chicken kabob, and something else that was like a fried ravioli but without pasta. My husband found it fine. But if you have a discriminating palette, you may not find it very good; 3) loved the hippo sightings. Great photo opps and ability to see them. We also saw a crocodile or two on a rock, not moving. We also saw some cool birds. This was great, but the reviews of other sunset cruises made it sound as if you saw an abundance of wildlife constantly. 4) which brings me to my next observation: not all of these Zambezi river cruises are the same. We were aboard the African Queen, which is a largish vessel. While we were cruising we noticed boats of varying sizes, including some quite small. The smaller boats ventured much closer to the hippos, and to the shoreline. Being a nimble boat seems advantageous for this type of cruise. All will see similar things, but the vantage point will be decidedly different. 5)Our hotel was in Zambia, so I was grateful to not have to cross the border to Zimbabwe for a river cruise. However, there are more options and therefore more pricings to choose from on the Zimbabwe side. We paid about $30/pp more than some of the other sunset cruises with comparable descriptions, so shop around. 6) friendly and attentive wait staff (Martha in particular) but be sure to take small bills or Kwacha for tipping. They do not give change in USD. 7) Tour narration: average. Again, overall a good experience, with these caveats.
Thank you so much for the review
This is an amazing adventure. Comfortable ride on the river with sighting of many water buffaloes, alligators and other animals. The sunset was spectacular! The boat we were on served some very delicious hors d’oeuvres especially the meatballs and mini quiche. Drinks were also complimentary.
Thank you so much for the feedback
The guide was very informative and friendly and the service from the other staff was also very good
Thank you so much for your positive feed
Wow a well organised trip. thank you Cherish and the team outdid themselves. Was a relaxing afternoon with snacks and drinks
It's a pleasure to serve you rightly, thank you so much for the review.
I am a massive fan of an African sunset, so this was truly amazing! The staff were so friendly and inviting, the on board snacks and drinks were refreshing and the accompanying music was delightful! The guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we were passing and had a lovely manner of expounding this information to us. It was such a relaxing way to end the day.
Thank you for the review
I really enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Lion King 🦁 boat! The views and service to us guests was very kind and welcoming! The music was lovely and the sunset breath taking! I would recommend a hat if sitting on the top deck and binoculars for better animal viewing on the islands.
Thank you for the review
