Sunset Zambezi River Cruise with Transport from Victoria Falls
2 h
Sunset & Sunrise
About this activity
Leave your Victoria Falls town hotel and travel to the nearby banks of the Zambezi River, a famous stretch of water that snakes its way through the savannah plains and swamplands of six different countries on route to the Indian Ocean.
At the water’s edge, hop aboard your sightseeing boat and take a seat on deck, enjoying a selection of finger snacks, such as chips and nuts, as well as a drink from the onboard bar. One glass of Champagne is included, and all other drinks – beer, wine and soft drinks – are unlimited!
With drink in hand, settle back and gaze out at the river to take stock of the rich wildlife floating around you. Have your camera ready to capture sights of hippos wallowing in the shallows and crocodiles snaking along the water’s edge; the colorful birdlife is camera worthy, too.
As the sun goes down, many of the land-based wildlife of Victoria Falls National Park head down to the river to drink, bathe and graze. Look out for Cape buffalo and giraffes, as well as the herds of elephants that often cross the river around sunset.
After three hours cruising up and down a stretch of the Zambezi River, seeing the sunset sights, return to the riverbank and step back onto dry land. Your experience then finishes with a hotel drop-off in Victoria Falls town.

Gorgeous sunset. A train of elephants entering the river from the banks of Zambia. Hippos, crocodiles and more. A distant view of the Fall's mist from up river. The staff were accommodating and ample complimentary food and beverages were provided. The Park fees were included, so we saved the 10pp. A relaxing way to punctuate a wonderful Victoria Falls stay.
Went on January 10th, low season after Xmas and New Year holidays so explained why there were lots of boats out on the river but few people on each. Lots of competition when times are hard there. However, picked up on time and driven down to launch site. Obligatory dance group struck up with singing and dancing as soon as we arrived so had to give a tip before getting on. There were about 20 of us altogether from different countries and it was a pleasant evening with drinks and nibbles and good service. The captain was very professional with his health and safety talk before we started. There was a young chap dressed up as a native with spear etc who unfortunately took a fancy to us and particularly seemed to want to practise his English on us! We felt sorry for him but he did become a little intrusive. We were quite glad when he went over to other groups but he did keep returning to us! We saw opposed, crocs, elephants coming down to the river to drink, kingfishers, lots of birds. We were two and a half km away from Vic Falls and could see the mist. Watched the sun go down and it was a really lovely experience. Some boats do full dinner cruises and in retrospect wished we had chosen to do that. Would recommend this tour- value for money, good transport too.
Yes the sunset was nice But I thought we would travel further along the river instead of doing a short circuit route
