Sunrise Cruise
Price US$55There are few things that make getting up before sunrise worth it, but our one-of-a-kind Sunrise Cruise is definitely one of them. The ambiance and tranquillity in the early morning hours is truly magical. Be in awe by the sheer beauty of the mirror-like waters on the Zambezi, its awakening spirit and the fairytale-like colours. The curse of the premature alarm and time in general are both quickly forgotten as you float along the river without any other boats around you. As you are floating on the Zambezi tea, coffee and some small delicacies are served to make the perfect morning complete.
