It is located in the northwest corner of the country, about one hour south of the Mighty Victoria Falls. Explore the Zambezi River, whose source is in North Western Zambia and flows approximately 2800km to its mouth in Mozambique into the warm Indian Ocean. The Zambezi is most famous for its falls: The Victoria Falls- one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and is arguably the greatest waterfall in the world.

In the afternoon you will be picked up from the hotel for a Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River. The Zambezi River is the 4th largest in Africa after the Nile, Zaire and Niger respectively. The source is in North Western Zambia and flows approximately 2800km to its mouth in Mozambique into the warm Indian Ocean. It is a wide, attractive River dotted with islands and sandbanks and the stretch of River preceding the Falls is bordered on the Zimbabwean side by the Zambezi National Park. Relax and enjoy the riverine vegetation and the bird life while you cruise past hippo and occasionally crocodile. Return to your hotel.

This spectacle occurs when the tranquil expanse of the Zambezi River plunges over a chasm 1708 metres wide and 103 metres deep, creating a shower of spray and a deafening noise.
