A watering excursion, the guide took us along the waterfall from the Zimbabwe side, showed and told us everything. The waterfall, even in the dry season, is striking in its power! After that, we were taken on a helicopter excursion, which was also cool. It all ended with a delicious lunch with a view of the bridge over the Zambezi

between the nibbles on the boat 🚢 and our dinner was just a little to much. Had fun on the boat the staff were very good and did some african music at the end of the trip 👌. We also had a bit of excitement during a storm were grounded for a little while which added a bit of adventure to the trip over all good 👍 night out

Great cruise. The staff provided exceptional service. We chose the option for cruise on the deck and they served us lovely food. This option also had an open bar which was a bonus. We got a lovely song from the staff at the end, and the captain was good at explaining the animals we saw. Highly recommend this cruise

It was a wonderful and dreamy experience. There was no sunset but there was a wonderful thunderstorm and it only started to rain tropically when we reached the restaurant. The food on the boat and in the restaurant was very good and the drinks delicious. Clearly recommended!!

It was simply wonderful, everything worked out perfectly, from the communication, the transport, the Bamba Tram driver and the great tour guide. Thank you very much!!!
