Itinerary
Day 1
Sunset cruise on the Zambezi River with hotel pickup and return transfers included.
Boarding & Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River
Pickup from Victoria Falls hotels begins approximately 15:45 (exact pickup time confirmed on booking voucher). Transfers deliver guests to the riverfront for check-in and boarding. Guests receive a welcome drink and freshly prepared canapés before the boat departs upstream. Cruise sails for 2 hours, offering wildlife viewing along the riverbanks and scenic views back towards Victoria Falls as the sun sets. Return to the riverfront at the end of the cruise for hotel transfers.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light layer—the river breeze can be cool after sunset and temperatures drop quickly.
- Carry a camera with a moderate zoom and use steady framing; wildlife is best viewed from the boat bank-side.
- Have a small amount of local cash ready for the park/river usage fee and any gratuities; cash is commonly required on arrival.
Return to Victoria Falls (Disembark and Hotel Drop-off)
After disembarking at the riverfront, short transfers take guests back to their Victoria Falls hotels. Expect a brief transfer time after boarding completes—drop-off order follows the routing used by the driver and may vary by hotel location.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep your hotel name and room number ready for the driver to ensure efficient drop-off routing.
- If you have mobility needs, advise the operator in advance; the activity notes wheelchair accessibility but boarding assistance varies.
- Expect a short transfer time to hotels in Victoria Falls; traffic and routing can add a few minutes—allow flexibility for onward plans.
