Don't do it

Wast of time and money. Total waste. The man speaking could not be understood, was impatient when asked questions and had difficulty being in command of the boat

Nice late afternoon cruise.

Tour was outstanding saw plenty of hippopotamus in the water and on land lots of crocodiles resting on the shore and a couple of elephants. Didn’t get a good sunset because it was overcast but it was a nice trip. The only complaint I have was being charged for transportation to and from the boat without prior notification.

Mesmerising sunset.

What an incredible river cruise! The breathtaking sunset was absolutely magical, and seeing hippos, crocodiles, and so many beautiful birds made the experience truly unforgettable. Overall, it was such a fulfilling and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it! The only small disappointment was that I didn’t receive the vegetarian snack option I had requested.

Cruising Zambezi with unlimited drinks, nice!

Amazing cruise along Zambezi River. Drinks were plentiful, staff were friendly and efficient. Our captain was fun and very knowledgeable, saw heaps of animals up close from crocodiles, birds, hippos, however watching a family of elephants frolicking in the water was a real treat. Loved it

Serene and relaxing river cruise

Description is 100% accurate. Hotel pick up. Drinks and snacks on board. Knowledgeable captain. He would take a few moments here and there to stop and talk about the falls and the river and the islands. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. I know you can’t predict where wildlife will be at any one time, but we did see quite a few hippos. They are so loud with their snorting and breathing 😆. I’m glad we did this cruise and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Very good...

Very good I would have appreciated it if the company that did the transfer from the hotel to the boat could have contacted me to confirm the time of the pick up
