Review of Victoria Falls’ Zambezi dinner cruise, with sunset views, wildlife, a four-course meal, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.

“The lady who picked us up was very friendly and chatty and we all had a good convocation on the journey to the boat dock. We arrived and were showed to our seat. All the seats are 'side' or 'front' view so everyone has a great view. The service was fantastic and the drinks were all included and amazing too. The food itself was beautiful, it was very well presented and perfectly cooked to our liking. The Zambezi was just serine and the sunset was jaw dropping, we got to see a huge group of hippos and a crocodile and lots of birds. Couldn't recommend this high enough. 10/10 all…”
