Our Heritage

Ra-Ikane Luxury Victoria Falls Cruises

Our fleet of river cruise boats, the Ra-Ikane I, II and III, originates from the rich and fascinating history of David Livingstone’s remarkable and extraordinary travels along the Zambezi River. These travels saw Livingstone trek from the west coast of Africa to the east coast under extremely challenging conditions. 

After the discovery of Victoria Falls, Livingstone was still determined to traverse the entire Zambezi River. He and his party – which included a faithful guide, named Lazarus Ra-Ikane –  assembled a small steamer river boat to navigate the river.

What a nice relaxing way to enjoy the Zambezi river while visiting Victoria falls. The boats are nice and they seat you at a table for just your party. The boat captain was excellent and spotted some wonderful birds and animals along our ride. The bar man was also excellent and made sure you always had a drink if you wanted one. Unlimited drinks included. They provided a nice appetizer tray as well. Highly recommend

We did a sunrise birding cruise on the Zambezi river in May. The experience exceeded our expectations with an excellent captain/guide, Ernest, stunning scenery and birds flying overhead, not to mention the tasty breakfast. Thank you, Ra-Ikane, and Ernest.

Beautiful cruise on the Zambezi River above the falls. Snacks & beverages (incl. alcohol) included in the cruise. Stylish old-fashioned type boat, very smooth. Knowledgeable guides. Wild animals and bird-life easily visible. Limited number of people per boat. Amazing experience.

May 22 sunset cruise. Small boat with a maximum of 8 people, snacks and drinks included, very comfortable. The guide was excellent gave us a really good commentary on what was around us. A small boat got us closer to the attractions than the bigger and definitely noisier alternatives. A great experience, highly recommend.

Taking this tour at sunset, as our first contact with the Zambezee River and Victoria Falls, as soon as we landed from a long flight from Europe, has been ideal, idyllic, relaxing and comfortable. A boat with drinks and snacks service, the captain took us to some shores to more closely explore some animals such as crocodiles, with a detailed explanation of the fauna. My recommendation is that you organize it as the beginning of your trip to Zambezee, not as the final stage when you already know its ecosystem better.

It was perfect and beautiful. A small wooden boat with a maximum of 12 seats.
A very nice and well-balanced little aperitif. A friendly crew and an exceptional landscape with some animals (hypo, crocs and magnificent birds). A very good time even if the price is a little higher than other more industrial boats.
I don’t regret. I recommend this company.
