Dhow cruises launch on the Zambezi

Guests can experience one of the most ancient forms of sailing, on a craft made entirely from natural materials.

Hideaway has announced that Zambezi Truth, a dhow operator in Zimbabwe, will launch cruises on the Zambezi from July 1.

The two handcrafted dhows, The Zambezi Tribe and Zambezi Origin, are made entirely from natural materials and can transport 12 guests on the river in one of the most ancient forms of sailing.

The trip includes refreshments, with canapés and cold beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) that guests can mix themselves.
