There’s not much that can beat floating down one of the most magnificent rivers in the world at sunset, G&T in hand and wildlife ambling by.
You’ll hop aboard one of two boats – the impressive and iconic African Queen, a triple-deck, 70-foot catamaran, or the slightly smaller but equally as fabulous African Princess – and begin your cruise in the later afternoon. With walk-on appearances of some of the continent’s most impressive animals along the banks, make the most of the daylight hours for some excellent game-viewing. When the sun dips below the horizon, head inside for a traditional cocktail and a canape or two.
