Description

Good to Know

Start your evening with a compelling Sunset Cruise on one of our flagship Zambezi Explorer ‘Luxury Decks’, before returning to The Eatery at the Pure Africa Waterfront to indulge in an al fresco dinner of traditionally prepared potjie pot stews. The Zambezi Explorer’s ‘Luxury Decks’ have never looked better, completely refurbished with Ndebele-patterned chairs, generous lounge seating and views through crisp linen curtains, they offer the ideal backdrop. Cruise the watery wilderness with the spray of the Victoria Falls within sight, before returning to The Eatery for a dinner of delicious potjies cooked to perfection by our chefs. Settle at your lantern lit tables under the stars to savour your meal, the setting and the nocturnal sounds of the bush around you.

A trademark combination of our two distinctly Pure Africa experiences, The Eatery Potjie Dinner & Sunset Cruise allows you an extended period on the Zambezi River. Arrive at the Pure Africa Waterfront for your Sunset Cruise onboard the Zambezi Explorer, soaking up the ambiance as the colours of the sky turn to burnt orange before the day sees the last of the light. After your cruise, return to The Eatery where a selection of delicious stews prepared traditionally in potjie pots and left to simmer to perfection, will be served. The potjie dishes offered are Beef, Chicken and Vegetarian, each bringing their own distinct taste of wood-smoked Africa.

Victoria Falls

As you cruise on the upper Zambezi River, you will also see the mist rising up from the magical Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River is the fourth-longest river in Africa, the longest east-flowing river in Africa and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The 2,574-kilometre-long river (1,599 mi) arises in Zambia and flows through eastern Angola, along the north-eastern border of Namibia and the northern border of Botswana, then along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe to Mozambique, where it crosses the country to empty into the Indian Ocean. The Zambezi's most noted feature is Victoria Falls.

An unforgettable sunset

We took the cruise on the Signature Deck and it was a great experience. Perfect weather, the food and drinks were excellent, the potjie experience was outstanding. Impeccable organization. You couldn't ask for better. The sighting of animals in the river was thrilling. The sunset was simply fantastic.

Response from ViatorJuly 11, 2026

Thank you for the glowing review! We’re delighted that you loved the Signature Deck, the potjie, and that fantastic sunset. Spotting wildlife from the river is always a highlight for us, too. We hope to see you on board again soon

Thoroughly Enjoyed!

Overall, we loved our experience—the food was delicious and beautifully presented. I tried ostrich for the first time, which was a unique highlight. Drinks were included, though I’d recommend offering cocktails as an option. The only downside was that our server seemed a bit overwhelmed. It’s a very romantic setting—perfect for couples!

Response from ViatorJuly 20, 2025

Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback Giannin! We're thrilled you loved your experience, especially the delicious food and beautiful presentation. We also appreciate your suggestion about offering cocktails and will certainly consider it. We're sorry to hear our server seemed a bit overwhelmed; we're always working to ensure our team provides the best service possible.

Zambezi River magic

Amazing. Beautiful. Luxury. Hippos, elephants, baboons and vultures spotted. The mighty Zambezi River. Open bar and freshly prepared light snacks full of colour and flavour. The sunset priceless. What an experience!

Recommend highly - so good, I went back again the next night! Extremely professional 5* service.

Great experience out on the water. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Great quality food and unlimited drinks. Boat was quiet so as not to disturb the animals and as a result we saw loads. The sunset was just jaw dropping. Highly recommend.
