Jim Harrison once wrote that it is impossible to be unhappy when you are in the middle of a big, beautiful river. We know that there is no river more beautiful, more serene, more mesmerising, than the Zambezi. This river brought David Livingstone to the brink of the Victoria Falls. A river that ripples and rolls through the Zambezi National Park, then cascades down black basalt rock spraying mist into the sky and creating rainbows on a rainless day.
Sunset Cruise trips along the Zambezi are a magnificent and extremely popular way to experience the river. All the boats, bar the jet boats, navigate a 6 km stretch of river above the Falls themselves, shallow waters and hazardous rocks prevent them from venturing any further. Although you do not see the Falls themselves during a cruise, a cloud of spray, visible from the boats, sits on the horizon, crowning the waterfall.
