Overview

We offer a safari style dinner cruise on the Zambezi River above the majestic Victoria Falls. Experience the warmth of the sunset while making your way gently up the majestical Zambezi river with the eurythmic sounds of nature complimenting the serenity of the moment. Enjoy snacks and cocktails before being served an exquisite four course plated meal with bright glistening stars adding to the magic of the evening under the African sky.

You have plenty of daylight, before the sun sets, to take in the splendid scenery as well as the many hipposcrocodiles and exotic birdlife. There is also the chance of spotting other game, including elephant, which cross the river to feed on the islands.

As you cruise along this majestic river, the 4th largest in Africa, you will be served refreshing drinks and tasty snacks, which are all included in the price.

After an unforgettable African sunset, a magical charm settles over the river. The lanterns are lit and a wonderful three-course dinner is served. The raucous sounds of hippo calling, make for an unusual backdrop to this truly African experience.

Dinner Cruise – Combine a Sunset Cruise with a Gourmet Dinner.

Enjoy the best of both worlds, a spectacular Zambezi sunset cruise followed by a four-course meal, freshly prepared on-board by our chefs, and served to you while cruising along the river with the sounds of the African bush providing your background music.

There are 3 dedicated floating restaurants offering gourmet meals on the mighty Zambezi River above the Victoria Falls.

Imagine experiencing the sounds and smell of the African bush, the spray of the mighty falls in the distance, while watching crocodile, hippo and elephant, all of which, plus much more, call this home. Our dinner cruises offer guests an opportunity to enjoy the romantic elegance and a sumptuous three course meal (all drinks included) under the African sky remaining

This has been rated as one of the ‘best valued’ activity in the falls. As always, we can plan and tailor make to accommodate special requests, groups, conference events or intimate dinners.
