Cruises

The Zambezi is truly at its best when lit up at sunrise and sunset, with those fiery golds and reds, hot pinks and deep purples. The colours of dawn and dusk create the most sensational of backdrops on your guided river cruise.

At sunset, freshly made G&Ts, ice-cold beers, and other refreshments, paired with local treats, are served right on the water as the sun goes down. The daily excursions frequently head towards the Zimbabwean side, allowing for beautiful views along the Matetsi Game Reserve as the sky turns into vibrant shades of gold, pink, and deep purple. At sunrise, head out with hot drinks and blankets, as the sky changes dramatically right in front of you.

Other wildlife to be spotted and photographed include baboon, impala, otter, warthog, waterbuck, giraffe, and even buffalo and the odd elusive leopard. At sunset in the dry months, watch the  African skimmers return to nest on the water's edge with their tell-tale red beaks, listen to the call of the fish eagles and see how many of the Zambezi's kingfishers you can spy through our binoculars.
