Itinerary
As you cruise on the upper Zambezi River, you will also see the mist rising up from the magical Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River is the fourth-longest river in Africa, the longest east-flowing river in Africa and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The 2,574-kilometre-long river (1,599 mi) arises in Zambia and flows through eastern Angola, along the north-eastern border of Namibia and the northern border of Botswana, then along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe to Mozambique, where it crosses the country to empty into the Indian Ocean. The Zambezi's most noted feature is Victoria Falls.
This park consists of 40km of the Zambezi River frontage and a spread of wildlife, rich inland mopane forest and savanna. Zambezi National Park is conjoined with Victoria Falls National Park and both parks cover an area of 56 000 hectares. A wide variety of larger mammals may be found within the park. If you are lucky you might come across animals such as hippos, elephant, crocodiles, kudus as you cruise on the Zambezi River.

Our dinner cruise was a very special evening thanks to our Captain Maurice and Server Nichole. Unlike the big boats, this is a very small very individual private experience. And because we had a small boat our Captain was able to bring us close to shore for excellent wildlife viewing and photography. We saw numerous hippos, two giant crocodiles, a beautiful heard of zebras, and more bird species than I can count. With all the sightings Captain and Nichole spotted them way before we did and moved our boat into ideal position for viewing and photography. All the while, Nichole continued to bring an excellent leisurely dinner and kept our drinks fresh. This was a very memorable experience we will never forget. Thanks Maurice and Nichole.
We loved the private sunset cruise experience. Our captain Jonathan and hostess Gugu were so hospitable and friendly. The cruise was so beautiful. Saw plenty of hippo!
Yesterday afternoon our group of 6 had a private sunset cruise on the Zambezi. Yolanda and Audrey were the fantastic captain and crew of our boat. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and took excellent care of us from spotting wildlife to supplying us with drinks and delicious canapés. We saw lots of hippos, a few crocodiles and an elephant plus the beautiful sunset. Thank you Yolanda and Audrey for an unforgettable experience. I am very glad we decided to do the private tour on the small boat. I should also mention that we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off after our cruise so the whole experience from start to finish was excellent.
Doing a private cruise on a small boat gave us the opportunity to access more secluded sections of the river, which allowed us to see animals up close. Our skipper, Elvis, and our hostess, Patience, was very friendly and efficient and Elvis was very knowledgeable on the river and its animals. It was a lovely experience and I highly recommend it. Sunset on the Zambezi is a must-do experience.
Very well organized. Knowledgeable and friendly crew. Excellent canapés—sushi and selection of small burgers, chicken kebabs, quiche and more. Cruised near shore line to see variety of wildlife—hippos, crocs, openbill storks, bee-eaters and more. Splendid sunset. Nice to be just the family, rather than larger boat.
Awesome trip on the Sambesi with a small boat, very romantic and exclusive! The crew with Captain Yolanda was great, taking care about our wishes and made some great wildlife sights (elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many birds). Food was very good as well!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Truly Exceptional Experience on the Zambezi! I had the immense pleasure of experiencing the Pure Africa Exclusive Dinner Cruise on the Zambezi, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were treated like royalty. The luxurious design of the boat set the perfect tone for the evening—a blend of sophistication and comfort that complemented the natural beauty of the river. As we drifted along the tranquil waters, the breathtaking sunset views over the Zambezi painted the sky in hues of gold, orange, and pink, creating a scene straight out of a dream. The culinary experience was world-class! Each course was exquisitely crafted, featuring a delightful fusion of local flavors and international finesse. The presentation was impeccable, and every bite was a celebration of taste. The attentive staff catered to every detail, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we felt completely pampered throughout. Adding to the magic was the gentle ambiance of the Zambezi. The soft sounds of the river, combined with the occasional sighting of hippos and other wildlife, made the evening feel like an exclusive connection to nature. This wasn’t just a dinner cruise; it was an unforgettable journey of elegance, tranquility, and pure joy. I can’t recommend the Pure Africa Exclusive Dinner Cruise enough—it’s a must-do for anyone visiting the Zambezi! Thank you to the team for delivering such an extraordinary experience. I’ll cherish this memory forever! 💫 Elizabeth Curiger turning the ordinary into the extraordinary ! Grateful exceptional hospitality
Sharon, our hostess, and Captain Elvis, could not have been nicer. The captain saw how we were interested in birds and so he made a special effort to find and identify them. The food was very good and beautifully presented. A lovely personal experience!
Fantastic trip, staff are wonderful, kind, full.of knowledge, and canapés are delicious, do not miss out!!
Loved this little cruise. Being on a smaller boat was so much nicer. The food was very good, service was excellent, views could not be beat. We saw all kinds of wildlife, while floating quietly along the Zambezi. We were 3 adults and a teen. All of us loved this evening cruise. Highly recommend over the larger boats for sure.
The sunset cruise was very nice. The "crew" of two (captain and our waitress) were fantastic. Food was tasty and more than we could eat (so much for just a light snack). Sepulveda do it again.
What a lovely way to start our time in Victoria Falls! My family of three (mom, young adult son, grandmother) Really enjoyed our time on our private cruise. The food and service were great, and we got to see lots of animals! We really enjoyed not being on a crowded boat and got to get up closer to the animals than the big boats did. We also got to see the things we wanted to see and were not rushed. Thank you for an enjoyable evening! My only suggestion would be to provide blankets for the guests after the sun goes down as it gets cool in the winter on the water.
The most beautif experience! We saw animals and a beautiful sunset. Food and drinks were great! Captain B and lovely Sca took such good care of us. Could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend booking a private river tour. We felt really special!
Beautiful private cruise. Very professional staff. Saw crocodiles, hippo and the most beautiful sunset.
Fantastic way to see the Zambezi, hippos, and avoid a crowded boat of tourists. Frankly the best money spent in Zimbabwe.
Relaxing, amazing views, very good attention by both Yolanda, the captain and Audry, her assistant.
