Zambezi Explorer

Zambezi Explorer is a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River run by Pure Africa, with food and drinks included in the ticket. Doug (September 2026) described the boat as one that “accommodates up to 150 passengers across three highly stylized, solar-powered decks.” Elsa (October 2025) listed the spread served on board as “potato chips, chicken satay with rolls, sliders with mini quiches” and found it filling, and Chris Chibaduki (January 2026) called the food “absolutely delicious.” A Korean-language reviewer in September 2023 found the snacks on the standard sunset sailing fairly light, since it isn't the dinner cruise, and had a drinks order go missing twice.

Richard (May 2026) enjoyed the newly refurbished boat but was put off by the naming of the “Luxury Deck”, which “makes you think you're getting something special” before Richard learned it was the same as Standard Class. Most reviewers focus on the wildlife spotted along the way, from hippos and crocodiles to elephants wading the banks, and the view of the Falls' spray in the distance.
