A sunset cruise on the Zambezi River is a must-do in Victoria Falls, offering breathtaking views, a relaxing atmosphere, and the distant spray of the falls as a stunning backdrop. However, with so many options available, choosing the right cruise can mean the difference between delighted clients and disappointed ones. Here’s how to ensure the perfect fit.

Timing Matters

Sunset cruises are the most popular, but they also mean a crowded river. For a quieter, more tranquil experience, consider a sunrise breakfast cruise instead. With cooler temperatures and fewer boats on the water, it's a peaceful way to start the day. Recommended options: Zambezi Vista or Ra-Ikane, both offering intimate, small-boat experiences.

Choosing the Right Boat

If your clients prefer a sunset cruise, selecting the right vessel is crucial:

• Standard Sunset Cruise (Wild Horizons): Best for casual travellers who enjoy a lively atmosphere and an open bar.

• Luxury Cruise (Zambezi Explorer): Offers a more upscale experience with guaranteed seating, but with a capacity of up to 150 passengers, it’s better suited for groups rather than FIT travellers. The Signature Deck provides a more exclusive setting.

• Small & Intimate Cruises: For a more personal experience, we recommend the Zambezi Vista or Ra-Ikane, each accommodating around 20 guests for a relaxed and elegant cruise.

Maximizing Value: The Dinner Cruise Option

For the best value for money, we strongly recommend a dinner cruise. It combines a sunset cruise with a full meal, ensuring a more secluded and intimate setting. Despite offering an enhanced experience, pricing is often only slightly higher than a standard luxury cruise.
Top Picks: Malachite Dinner Cruise or Zambezi Breeze.
