There’s nothing quite like the enchantment of an African sunset cruise, especially when it unfolds over the majestic River Nile in Jinja. As the day comes to a close, picture yourself on a boat, surrounded by good company, relishing delicious food, and sipping on ice-cold beer or a refreshing gin and tonic.
Don’t forget to bring your cameras, for this voyage promises more than just a breathtaking sunset; it’s also a chance to capture the diverse avian life, with our resident African Fish Eagles gracefully swooping down to catch small fish along the riverbanks.
Throughout the cruise, you’ll be treated to a complimentary feast of food and drinks, allowing you to recline and fully immerse yourself in the tranquil yet festive atmosphere, catering to your every preference.
The River boat cruise is the epitome of relaxation on the magnificent River Nile. Through Trek Africa Expeditions, you can embark on these remarkable journeys along the Nile, where you can savor the gentle caress of the Nile breeze as the day transforms into twilight.
And why not indulge in the ultimate Nile River experience with a sunset cruise? With Lake Victoria, one of the world’s largest lakes, as your backdrop, we specialize in organizing sunset cruises. Departing from Entebbe in the late afternoon, these boat cruises take you towards the equator line or local islands, where you can witness the sun gracefully descending below the horizon. Along the way, watch local fishermen skillfully cast their nets and relish the delectable snacks and refreshing drinks provided onboard.
The meeting point and departure timings for your cruise will depend on your specific choice. Typically, we gather at Entebbe, specifically at Banga Beach, Nakiwogo, or Lugard Avenue, just outside UWEC (Zoo). These locations offer secure parking, with the departure point just a short walk away. The duration of the sunset cruises ranges from one to two hours, commencing in the late afternoon at around 5.00pm.
For avid bird watchers and those with a bit more time to spare, our cruises can also include a visit to the Mabamba papyrus swamp area, which is home to several pairs of the rare and elusive Shoebill Stork. While the primary attraction is the Shoebill Stork, you’ll be surrounded by an abundance of other water birds and wildlife, including otters, as you navigate the serene waters of this remarkable area.
