Birding delight. - The boat trip started at 5:30. We were the only people on the boat. Birds were singing and and the sun came up after 15 minutes after starting. A stunning sunrise. We were served a very nice breakfast, too much food for us. Our captain was Yolander a young lady, a very competent birder and captain. We only saw one other boat on the river that morning, it was so peaceful. Lots of birds and crocodiles. We had a great time and would recommend the river trip.

Pure Africa Cruise is a Pure Delight! - We took a beautiful sunset cruise last evening with Pure Africa. Everything was amazing! The boat itself is lovely, tastefully and comfortably furnished with stylish fabrics and furniture. The restrooms were clean and attractive. The drinks (we had gin and tonics) flowed and snacks were tasty But most importantly the entire staff and crew - from the captain to the servers to the barmen - were friendly, welcoming, and professional. By the end of the two hour cruise I felt like we were all friends. It was a delightful way to interact with wonderful locals while witnessing the beauty of the Zambezi river (hippos, crocs and all.) I highly recommend Pure Africa if you are considering a sunset cruise. It will be a joyous memory of our stay in Victoria Falls.

bigger boat and more crowded than some, but still very enjoyable - My wife and I enjoyed a morning boat cruise on the Zambezi River so much, we asked our hotel concierge to sign us up for a sunset cruise. We did not realize that we were signed up for a different company. Pure Africa had four boats going this evening, each full up. There was some confusion at the beginning, leading to boats coming together in mid-stream to pass over food items (to the crunching of the canopies), but when the cruise at last got going, it was pleasant and picturesque. We ended up spending most of the time before sunset watching four elephants splashing at the edge of the river, which was quite fine. The food was finger food and mostly not for vegetarians. After sundown, it was quite a parade, watching all of the different boats from different companies and with different "themes" going by. A pleasant evening event.
