Overview
Spend two hours on the Upper Zambezi on Shearwater's standard shared sunset cruise. Local drinks and snacks are included, with return shared transfers from Victoria Falls town hotels on the Zimbabwean side. Watch for hippos, crocodiles and elephants along the banks; sightings are never guaranteed. The current total is US$71 per international adult: US$59 for the cruise plus the compulsory US$12 river fee. The fee is already counted in that total, not an additional US$12 on top. Payment arrangements and the exact pickup time are confirmed in your quotation.
