The operator may cancel for bad weather, in which case you are offered another date or a refund. The departure can also be cancelled if too few people book.

Where this fits in your trip

Zambezi cruises run above the falls where the river is wide and calm, and the late-afternoon departure is the one most people want. Victoria Falls town sits on the Zimbabwean bank of the Zambezi, a short walk from the rainforest viewpoints and close enough to the gorge that the spray is visible from the main street in full flood. Most visitors base themselves here for two or three nights and fill the days with a mix of water, air and game viewing.
