26 Jun Zambezi Queen, Chobe River, Botswana
Deep in the heart of the African wilderness, where the mighty waters of the Chobe River run through Namibia into Zimbabwe falling over the iconic Victoria Falls in a dazzle of thunder and spray, you’ll find the Zambezi Queen, a floating hotel that combines the best of luxury and elegance with the wild essence of Africa.
The view is ever-changing: elephants wading in the shallows or crossing in merry groups, fish eagles wheeling overhead, sunsets that will take your breath away. Experience it all from your private suite aboard the luxury 45 metre houseboat, surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the wilderness.
Embarking from her base in Namibia, the Zambezi Queen cruises along the Chobe, taking in a huge variety of wildlife both on the shore and in the river itself. Guests can enjoy unparalleled photographic opportunities, whether viewing game from the deck or by tender boat – a unique chance to get up close to wildlife on the river’s banks.
This leisurely safari allows you to experience the thrill and tranquillity of a bushveld adventure, with all the civilized comforts of a luxury hotel. Just 80km away by road, you’ll find the Victoria Falls, one of the great wonders of the natural world. Many guests choose to combine a stay on board the Zambezi Queen with a visit to this incredible sight.
