Well it starts off with...

Well it starts off with no one arriving to pick me up. My hotel staff called for 30 minutes different companies to determine who my transport will be. Luckily they recognized the boat on picture and rep was picking up other customers at my hotel and I was added on last minute. Don’t know where the oversight was but thanks to the hotel staff I was able join in on this cruise. Overall the cruise views were amazing. Not necessarily worth the 100$ though. Probably would have done a different activity with time well spent. The cruise itself was one hour. Short ride on Zambezi river.
