A Luxury Floating Hotel 

The Zambezi Queen is no ordinary safari experience. It’s a luxurious houseboat that combines world-class amenities with the stunning backdrop of the Chobe River. The boat features 14 suites, each with private balconies offering panoramic views of the river and the surrounding wildlife. With an emphasis on elegance and comfort, the Zambezi Queen provides a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration. Imagine waking up to the sight of elephants drinking from the riverbank or watching a dazzling African sunset right from your private suite. 

The suites are designed with eco-conscious travellers in mind, using solar panels to power the boat and ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment. Inside, you’ll find air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the African wilderness right to your doorstep. The communal areas include a dining room, lounge, bar, and a top-deck pool, offering plenty of spots to relax and soak in the breathtaking surroundings. 

Excursions and Activities

While the Zambezi Queen offers unrivalled wildlife viewing from the boat itself, guests can also partake in various water-based activities that bring you even closer to the action. One of the most popular activities is the smaller tender boat safaris, where expert guides take you on intimate journeys along the riverbanks, providing closer encounters with the wildlife. 

For fishing enthusiasts, the Chobe River is home to the sought-after tigerfish, which provides a thrilling challenge for those looking to cast a line. However, the fishing is strictly catch and release.  Bird lovers will be in heaven, as the region boasts over 450 species, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, and carmine bee-eaters. 

For a touch of culture, a visit to a local Namibian village can be arranged. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to meet local communities, learn about their way of life, and experience the region’s rich cultural heritage.
