Zambezi Queen Luxury Riverboat Safaris

An elephant trumpets on the riverbank. Morning tea in hand, you step out onto the cool tile of your private terrace, comfortably situated deep within the African wilderness. The new Zambezi Queen drifts gracefully down the Chobe River, carved between Namibia's Caprivi Strip to the north and Botswana's Chobe National Park to the south.

You can take the luxury of this 14-cabin riverboat with you into this very wild and uncrowded part of southern Africa along the Chobe River. The riverbanks are teeming with wildlife including the dense elephant populations of Chobe National Park, currently estimated at about 120,000. Furthermore, lion, leopard, buffalo, waterbuck, roan, eland, sable , giraffe and occasionally a rare puku can be seen. The river is full of hippo and crocodile as well, and birds define the tree-line with bright colors and unique calls. 

Possible activities include water-based game viewing from smaller boats, tiger-fishing and bream-fishing in season, land-based game drives in Chobe National Park with the Zambezi Queen's very own rangers, village tour, and scenic flights at additional cost.

Watch the amazing sunset from the chic luxury and comfort of the 3rd-level dining room, lounge, and pool deck. There is a reading library on the 1st deck and suites on the 1st and 2nd decks.
