Great sunset cruise
Kevin_P
, Aug 2022
Great river cruise. It begins before sunset, most tables have a nice view. It's very relaxing as you cruise towards the falls and then up another branch of the river. We saw crocodiles and some hippos and then right as the sun sets, you have dinner. The food was good, I had a local fish with risotto. Open bar with more well drink style liquor. I was traveling alone and manage to meet quite a few people. It is a nice outing for couples and families also, what kid doesn't want to see a hippo. The staff was super nice, the meal was served efficiently and everyone was very helpful and accommodating. I can't speak to other cruises but this one was very good. There is a $10 park fee that is paid before you board. This is a great cruise if you get chance, stick your feet up and watch the sunset on a riverboat.

The highlight of our trip to Victoria Falls. We thoroughly enjoyed this evening trip however, I would recommend having an outer garnet as it was cool after sunset. (July). The food was truly marvellous, especially the fillet steak. I wasn't expecting much for a boat cruise dinner but this was better than most meals I've ever had. Also saw elephants, crocs & Hippos. Worth every penny.

What a beautiful cruise and Dinner! Highly recommend one of our favourite moments of the whole trip. 4 course meal, free bar, beautiful views and maybe some animals. I loved their attention to detail, the food was delicious, the table dressing was gorgeous with flower's, lanterns, chunky placemats and i loved that there was a blanket over the back of each chair incase you are cold when the sun goes down. The toilets are good and we saw hippo's also. Everyone should go!

This was one of the most wonderful nights of my entire life! The staff were incredible, the food was absolutely gourmet, and the open bar was not stingy! Plus we got to see hippos elephants all all manner of incredible Vic Falls wildlife with a gorgeous sunset back drop. I would absolutely take this tour again and would recommend it to anyone in Vic Falls!

This dinner cruise is well worth the money as the staff is friendly, the views are fantastic and the meal is extremely good. The choice of beverages is excellent, with good quality spirits, beers and wine available and included in the price. The meals are extremely good with a choice of fish or beef and arrive piping hot from the kitchen. The staff is extremely friendly and informative. The cruise last for approximately 3 hours and provides sunset pictures that you will remember for a lifetime. We highly recommend this tour, great value for money.

Hippos grazing on the bank

We had a lovely evening. The 4 course dinner was very good. The barman makes a mean mojito. We saw plenty of hippos - in and out of the water - and a croc on the bank. It was too cloudy to see the sunset but a very nice evening.

Unreliable tour operator
1sergeya
, Jan 2020
I booked a dinner river cruise on Zambezi river on 27DEC19 at 1700/ It was agreed with the tour operator that they would pick us up (3 adults) at 1610 at Zim Border. we were there at 16 and waited until 1620 under the sun, with no shade. One of us was lady and she got dizzy after being in the heat for so long. Local taxi drivers advised us to wait and they would show us the car of the tour operator when the bus comes. But no bus was in sight, no one picked us up. So after waiting in the heat we decided to take a taxi to the cruise port and paid 15 USD. I consider the service was not rendered in full and want to claim back taxi costs and a proportionate refund for the unfulfilled transfer from Zim border to the cruise port.

Dear Sergeya, We are sorry that you feel that the the service provided was not up to the extremely high level that we strive for. The situation was that as you had booked the Dinner Cruise from Livingstone, Zambia our activity transfer does not include transfers from there, so we had arranged a pick-up from the Zimbabwe border to accommodate you. Unfortunately with services like transfers, we are often delayed en-route by guests at other pick-up points who are not ready on time, thereby delaying the next pick-up. We had advised you that pick-up would be at +/-16h10, but unfortunately the vehicle was delayed at another pick-up point, but it was at the border to pick you up, before 16h20. The driver arrived and could not find you. Our staff in the office were sending you messages trying to find you, with no response. Whilst we do apologise for being slightly late for your pick-up, but do feel that review is misleading in that you had indicated that no-one picked you up, when that was not the case at all.
