Dear Celine,
Thank you for your feedback.
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Kindly note that your booking was for a Sunset Cruise, which includes light finger snacks and not a full dinner. A Dinner Cruise is offered as a separate option; however, this was not selected at the time of booking.
We would be delighted to host you on one of our Dinner Cruises in the future and give you the complete dining experience on the river.
Thank you once again for choosing us, and we look forward to serving you again.
Warm regards,

Best sunset cruise
From a perfect hotel pickup to the incredible service onboard, we had such a lovely time. We saw hippos, birds, elephants and appreciated the care that we received to ensure we got as close as possible. We enjoyed the tasty snacks and endless refills of our drinks. This time of year was perfect for us as the temperature was delightful. Highly recommend.
