ザンベジ川6コースクラシックサンセットディナークルーズ

My mum and I had the ABSOLUTE TIME on this cruise!!!! The food, made by Chef Byrone, was top notch! Polenta never tasted as good as it did when he made it! Shadrek, our mixologist, made sure our glasses were constantly flowing, interesting and paired well! He was well versed in all the wines he served us! Our Captain, Nkosi, made sure that we had time to take pictures of the scenic route, hippos/ crocs and sunset, and the icing on the cake? Our host, Osborne! He made sure we he gave us a briefin on everything ZAMBEZI! He really made the experience unforgettable!!!We had a time with the team of 4 and I cannot wait to do it again! I'd ask for them when I do! They made the experience EXCEPTIONAL!!!

This dinner cruise was exceptional! The boat is beautiful, the crew is friendly and the food and wine are superb. The dishes are beautifully plated and delicious. There is a wine paring with each plate and you can order anything else to drink at any time. Cruising on the Zambezi river, seeing hippos and crocodiles while enjoying a beautiful meal was spectacular. You might be thinking it’s pricey but it is worth every cent.

This is an exceptional experience and well worth the cost(buy directly from Pure Africa). From the moment you arrive on the red carpet that takes you on to the boat and the welcome drinks to the time that you leave at 8pm you will have highly professional service. Sharon as your waitress is delightful and besides delivering the superb food prepared by the chef she points out the wildlife along with sights as we cruise. We did not expect to do another game drive on the Zambezi River while having a degustation dinner! The food served, highlighting some African meats like Ostrich tataki and Kudu, would match any fine dining experience in the world and that includes Michelin restaurants. We have experienced many so I don’t say this lightly. The wines are sourced from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa and are labelled with ‘Pure’ reflecting the Pure Africa experience. We were served a great range of wines, well matched to each course. Shadreck, as our waiter was also delightful and his photography services were also top notch. If you can fit it in there is an amazing selection of spirits, especially of Gins. This was our last night of 17 days in Kenya and Zimbabwe visiting three different safari camps so this was a fantastic finale. We were only 4 passengers on our ‘exclusive’ dinner cruise and I can’t recommend it enough. While the three other staff onboard: the captain, chef and barman were more behind the scenes than Sharon and Shadreck they did superlative work. Thanks for your songs and making this a very special evening.

Outstanding , Incredible . Stunning are just a few words to describe this wonderful experience . We were treated like royalty . There was a private chef/ captain / waitress and sommelier on board - all of which were so friendly and helpful pointing out the giraffes we saw and the hippos/ crocodiles and the national parks . The whole experience was breathtaking . We shared the experience with just one other couple and felt so special - the sunsets were romantic and this is a MUST DO experience whilst in Africa

My wife and I have just spent 3 nights in Victoria Falls. We decided to book a dinner cruise for one of our evenings and are so pleased we chose the Pure Africa Classic Dinner cruise. We were collected from our hotel and driven to the jetty to get the boat. This was the single level intimate and attractive Zambezi Reflections. We were warmly welcomed into the boat and introduced to the crew and chef. We quickly realised that we had the boat to ourselves which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. The boat is very comfortable the tables are generously sized and spaced with linens tablecloths and napkins. The cruise itself was an absolute joy. Travelling about an hour or so up the river at a leisurely pace before turning round and returning to base. We had the most incredible sunset (photo attached), saw hippos and a crocodile! To be honest we weren’t expecting the food to be anything like as good as it turned out to be. All courses were delicious, thoughtfully designed and exceptionally good. My wife is a little fussy and there were a couple of things on the set menu that should doesn’t eat but we were offered very good alternatives, which were fantastic. As an aside, there are 3 choices for the main course. The dinner comes with a wine pairing but we decided to stick with the very nice Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon both of which were very high quality. Service was friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The star of the show though was the young chef. The quality of what he produced was exceptional and better than the 5 star hotel we were staying at. The ostrich tataki was really good, as was the beetroot and cream cheese foam alternative my wife had.. The spinach and ricotta ravioli was delicate and very good. The springbok main course was extremely good and well presented. My wife was offered an aubergine parmigiana as an alternative to the 4 choices, none of which worked for her. It was also very very good. All in all, this was a very enjoyable, romantic dinner of the highest quality, enhanced by the lovely team. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this cruise.
