Beautiful Sunset Cruise! The sunset cruise along the Zambezi was amazing. Beautiful scenery and excellent service. The food at the Eatery was average and there were A LOT of insects which took away from the experience, but to be expected when along the river in Africa. Still would highly recommend this experience. (Reviewed at: 2025-04-04)
