One of the most spectacular experiences one may have in Africa is a sunset sail on the Zambezi River. The Zambezi River offers the ideal tranquil setting for a peaceful or romantic adventure as the sun sets toward the horizon. The quiet, slow-moving rivers and the abundance of wildlife on both riverbanks amplify the orange, pink, and purple hues of the sunset. One can enjoy the majestic elephants wading in the water or drinking from the river's banks while sipping a pleasant sundowner or a sparkling wine. The Zambezi River sunset cruise is a fantastic event that offers a unique African encounter.

A Must Do while in Zimbabwe!
We went on Zambezi Ark and had a fantastic afternoon! The boat was very comfortable! The crew were lovely, friendly and attentive. Choice of upper or lower deck, both had bars. Food was finger food and quite tasty and well spaced. Excellent drink service, which were free. Captain was funny and informative and we saw crocs, water buffalo, hippos, kudus, baboons and a marabou stalk. Sunset was incredible!

The sunset cruise was incredible. We were delivered to the boat by our tour guide Bheki. The crew welcomed us aboard and we enjoyed about two hours of relaxing and sightseeing. Saw elephants, hippos and crocodiles. All while enjoyed the food and cocktails
