"A sunset cruise on the Zambezi" Victoria Falls Travelogue by Alain_Smeets
Victoria Falls Travel Guide: 487 reviews and 1,046 photos
We are brought to the upper Zambezi were at 4 o’clock our sunset cruise starts. We go all on board and install us on the benches and the boat is leaving at a slow pace. There are several boats leaving for the sunset cruise.
We can have drinks and some snacks while the boats are moving away from the falls. The captain is trying to locate some wildlife at the banks of the river. We saw a bit of wildlife ....
But because we were already spoiled in Chobe Natianal Park, we are not impressed at this moment. We enjoy the snacks while the sun starts to decent to the horizon.
The Captain drops the anchor and we have all the time to enjoy the sunset. Slowly the boll is changing from bright orange to a darker colour. We see some birds flying in front of the setting sun and we just watch until the sun has left our view plane.
Then the boats are slowly returning to the small harbor were our trip ends.

That travelogue of the rafting is one of the most detailed I have ever read on VT.You certainly capture everything about the rafting experience, not sure about the bungy jump.
great pics!
Great page on the thundering Vic Falls!!! Fantastic pictures too!!! I saw them from the Zambian side only!!!
One of the best travelogues here on VT !!!
Wow, Alain, where you in that boat? Beautiful picture but a bit scary too. You have very fine pages, I wish I had more time to read thoroughly. Warm regards, RaHeNi
such a wonderful story!!!!! very exciting especially the intro pic, whoooooooaaa!!
What an exciting tale from the rafting at Vic Falls. We didn't get to do it while we were there, the water was too high - too dangerous! Shame.
I survived 2 Great Falls! This one will be my final if I make it there one day! Not into waterrafting but definitely flying! Hope to one day to fly a plane! It'll be my dream :-)))
Fantastic page & tips with superb travelogues Alain. Many thanks for passing on this with your passion & enthusiasm.
IMPRESSIVE! But no white water rafting for me ... I can hardly swim :(( Wonderful sunsets. I'll have to check my bank account and see if I can ever get there.
