Notes

What is the best way to explore the mighty Zambezi? On a boat that meanders along remote channels and speeds across rapids, or aboard a luxury cruise boat that offers gracious hospitality? The Ultimate River Cruise Experience offers both unique river cruises in one unforgettable combination activity that will ensure you experience all the Zambezi has to offer.

Collection for this spectacular two and a half hour cruise is at 15h30 in winter, and 16h00 in summer.
Enjoy an hour cruise on a river safari boat with a stop-off at one of the islands for drinks and snacks. Then join the African Queen or African Princess an hour later to toast the setting sun. The trip back to the deck in the fading light is a magical conclusion to your Zambezi experience.

On returning to the Royal Landing, you will be transferred back to your hotel at approximately 18h00 in winter and 18h30 in summer.

Customer Reviews

Fabulous tour. Thank you to Captain Michael and his crew. He picked us up on time and gave us a great river safari. We saw 2 massive crocodiles, a tiny baby croc, elephants and hippos and more. The scenery around the river is stunning. We stopped for a picnic of chicken, samosas and beef pasties - delicious. After 1.5 hours river safari we were transferred seamlessly to the African Princess where we joined the captain on his private deck. More food and unlimited drinks - all served by are own private waiter. We spent about an hour slowly cruising up and down the river taking in the beautiful sunset. When we disembarked from the cruise they had a driver waiting for us to take us back to our lodge. If you can't decide between a river safari or sunset cruise then definitely opt for this - its the best of both worlds. Excellent value for money. We did several tours with Livingstones Adventures and can highly recommend them (We did Quad Biking, Canoe Safari and Microlight Flight - best thing I've ever done in my life!) - Carol


An amazing experience! Good value for money!! Thank you Staford and Miyanda for making it so memorable! - Charmaine


What an amazing experience, the guides were knowledgeable and very attentive, pointing out the different animals and we were able to get close to the banks to see the reptiles, lizards and birds. After what on it's own made a great afternoon, we transferred to the African Princess where we proceeded to the captains cabin to watch an amazing sunset over the Zambezi. If I ever get the chance to return this will be the first excursion I would book. Amazing time with the most amazing team. What a way to end a holiday!! - Joanne


FANTASTIC Fast speedboat ride round the islands near the falls with skipper & butler to look after us. Stopped on a small island in the middle of the river for nibbles (expecting nuts & crisps) & got a full Finger Buffet with Wings,Quiche, Salad,Wine & the butler serving us. Then back onto African Princess,a much larger boat, to watch the sunset & still with our butler serving drinks,nibbles & finished with Fruit Kebabs & Cupcakes. BRILLIANT - Much better value than just the sunset cruise. - Richard


The people was extremely nice an competent and the experience was perfect. Thank you so mich for everything - Rudolf
