Sunset Mokoro Cruise
Glide the upper Zambezi in a traditional dugout mokoro as the sun goes down — drinks and snacks aboard.
About this experience
Not every Zambezi experience is about adrenaline. The sunset mokoro cruise is the calm counterpoint: you settle into a traditional dugout canoe, poled along the quiet upper river by a local boatman who has done it his whole life, while the sky turns gold and pink over the water. Drinks and snacks are served aboard. It is the most peaceful, authentic way to end a day in Livingstone — and a favourite of couples.
