Zambezi River Dinner Cruise
About the Adventure
The dinner cruise is the sunset cruise's dressed-up sibling — a fuller evening on the Zambezi that carries on past sunset into lantern-lit dining on the water. You drift along the calm upper river watching hippos, crocodiles and elephants as the light fades, then enjoy a multi-course dinner served on deck under the stars. It's relaxed, romantic and a lovely special-occasion option. Several boats run it, from intimate linen-tableclothed vessels to large double-deck pontoons with bars on each level.
