I expected a couple of snacks and a plastic cup of cheap wine. Totally wrong. This was a beautiful evening with elegant canapes and premium drinks The scenery and wildlife were just as depicted in their marketing pictures. The beauty of an African sunset is hard to capture in words.

Great evening cruise!
Wonderful evening sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. It was our first African safari experience. All of the staff on the boat were very attentive and knowledgeable about what we were seeing along the river. Great hippo encounter too! Thanks for a great evening cruise.

Racket!
If the cruise itself was fine, charging us an extra USD 30 per person the day before the trip on the pretext that taxes had increased by 25% is unacceptable, especially since prices have remained unchanged on Tripadvisor since we booked in November 2025. And it's impossible to cancel because we wouldn't have been refunded. It's pure racketeering! I advise against going through this agency to book an activity if it is not noted refundable.

This is the ONLY sunset boat cruise you should do in Victoria Falls
We arrived having taken two flights from Cape Town, just in time for a pre-booked sunset cruise on the Ra-lkane. It was humid and we were hot but our troubles soon disappeared as we untied from the dock and set sail into a cool river breeze.
This is an exclusive experience - we had just ten guests - and the value is a no brainer when considering the small increment on the price of the bigger boats packed with people. We had unlimited premium drinks served by our wonderful guide called 'Knowledge" and two tapas plates each.
Trevor the captain gave us some fascinating insights into the wildlife we saw along the way. All in all it was the perfect end to a dusty long day of travelling from Cape Town. We hung around at the hotel from where the boat leaves for drinks afterwards, again a beautiful setting, before heading back to our own hotel. (See my other review).
If you book the experience before you arrive, you can advise at that time of which is your accommodation - and you will be collected. A perfect evening on the mighty Zambeze river.

We love hearing how quickly the river breeze and peaceful atmosphere helped you unwind after your journey.

WARNING: Total No-Show – Do Not Book with Southern Dynasty Safaris!
DO NOT BOOK through this operator (Southern Dynasty Safaris). I booked and paid for a Ra-Ikane dinner cruise via TripAdvisor, and it was a complete disaster.
We had a confirmed pickup from our hotel at 3:30 PM, but nobody ever showed up. We tried calling the contact number for Southern Dynasty Safaris multiple times, but they did not answer their phone.
To make matters worse, I contacted the actual boat operator (Ra-Ikane) directly to check on our booking. They informed me that they had no record of our reservation and that they do not even know or work with an agency called "Southern Dynasty Safaris."
It seems this "operator" simply takes your money and never actually books the cruise. I have reported this to TripAdvisor and requested a full refund. Even if I get the refund our trip is ruined because I was unable to get any other cruise and me and my parents were really looking forward for the cruise.

A most memorable experience.
What an amazing experience. Unfortunately for us we did not get to see a sunset over the Falls as a storm was brewing. However, this will be one of our most memorable excursions.
There were only 6 people on our boat, together with the captain and a steward. Offer a iced tea and nibbles on arrival, we headed off in the direction of the Falls, spotting an elephant almost straight away. This was followed be several crocodiles. We were then offered drinks from a selection of alsoholic and non-alcohlic drinks and these were served with a very nice plate of small bites. This was, we felt, much better than have a fancy dinner on board. Drinks were replenished often!
But, the most memorable event was witnessing 4 elephants crossing the Zambezi River from Zimbabwe to Zambia. It was something very special, and our captain did not rush away from the scene, allowing us plenty of time to marvel at the wonderful sight.
I would definately recommend this excursion, sunset or not.

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review. We’re thrilled to hear that your Ra-Ikane Luxury Sunset Cruise became one of the most memorable experiences of your trip, even though the approaching storm meant you missed the sunset over the Falls.
It sounds like the Zambezi had something even more special in store for you! From spotting an elephant shortly after departing and seeing crocodiles along the river, to enjoying the drinks and beautifully prepared bites, we’re delighted that the intimate setting of the cruise added to your experience.
Most importantly, we’re honoured that witnessing four elephants crossing the Zambezi from Zimbabwe into Zambia became such a special moment for you. Our crew always aims to give guests the time and space to appreciate these extraordinary wildlife encounters rather than simply rushing on to the next sighting.
We’re also pleased that you appreciated the relaxed approach of enjoying drinks and canapés instead of having a formal dinner on board. It’s wonderful to know that this suited the experience you were looking for.
Thank you for recommending the excursion even without the sunset. We truly hope to welcome you back to the Zambezi one day—perhaps next time the skies will reward you with a spectacular African sunset over the Falls!
Warm regards,

Highly recommended
This is such a lovely experience, I highly recommend it.
A beautiful, small boat makes for a serene experience. Sipping on a drink, with delicious nibbles, watching the sunset and all the wildlife. A must do!
I'm so glad we were on this boat, and not the much larger ones you see on the river. I cannot fault the whole experience.
