I cannot recommend this Boat cruise enough. Victoria Falls was overall just a fantastic trip but this is probably one of the highlights of my trip. After a 40th birthday luncheon for my husband with 15 family members (including 3 toddlers) we boarded this cruise and it was a perfect way to end the day. We managed to see various animals including hippos, crocs, elephants, buffalo, birds and the sunset over the mist from the Vic Falls gorge was a tip on the iceberg. The snacks were basically a whole meal and drinks were included which isn't like most places we've been to Vic falls were drinks are a separate charge. Guide was knowledgeable and hosts were fantastic. absolutely loved it.
