Boat Cruise - Victoria Falls

The Zambezi River Boat Cruise at Victoria Falls operates with 3 time options offering different experiences: mid-morning, lunch and sunset, along the river boundary of the Mosi-O-Tunya National Park, circling the nearby Islands and returning to the pier. The total cruise time is 2½ hours. On the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls sightings of elephant, giraffe, buffalo and waterbucks coming down to the river to drink are common. There are also abundant hippos, crocodiles and birdlife for viewing on the relaxing evening. The cruise starts around 9.00 AM, 12.00 PM & 4.00 PM respectively. The sunset experience is perfect way to start a romantic evening at the Victoria Falls.

About Victoria Falls

Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800's as 'Mosi-o-Tunya' - 'the Smoke that Thunders' and in more modern terms as 'the greatest known curtain of falling water', Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe and one of the wonders of the world. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as 546 million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge (at the height of the flood season) over a width of nearly two kilometers into a deep gorge over 100 meters below. The wide basalt cliff, over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi from a wide placid river to a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges.
