Taonga Safaris - Zambezi River Cruises

The original Zambezi river cruise company

The Taonga Sunset Cruise

The Zambezi Sunset Cruise

Taonga Safaris sunset river cruises operate all year round, navigating around the two main islands on this section of the river, Siloka Island (also known as Long Island) and Kalai Island. These two islands, sandwiched between the Zambezi National Park on the Zimbabwean side, and the Mosi-ou-Tunya National Park on the Zambian side, are rich in birds and wildlife, including the ubiquitous hippo and crocodiles which abound on the river above the Falls.

The Taonga Safaris on-board braii

We offer a fully inclusive serviced bar (local beers, spirits and soft drinks only), and our unique on-board braai (barbeque), served to guests during their cruise. Sunset cruises offer a great way to end the day, relax and unwind on the river and make new friends - and of course to see and enjoy the often spectacular sunsets - the perfect start, or end, to your stay in Livingstone. We aim to cater to all needs - just notify us in advance of any special requirements.

Morning Cruises

Morning is the best time for enjoying the peace and serenity of the river, as well as the abundant wildlife which graces the river and its margins. Our morning safari cruises offer you the opportunity to experience the river at this magical time. Morning cruises are also supported with snacks and refreshments, and a Champagne breakfast tour is offered for those with a taste for the high-life. Morning cruises are great opportunities for the photographer and observing the rich birdlife along the river. Specialist birding or angling tours can be booked by arrangement - contact us for more information.

Private Hire

Private hire tours and safaris are also offered, for large or small groups, and we can cater to your requirements. See our Private Hire page for more information.
