Zambezi Queen Luxury Houseboat

About the Zambezi Queen Houseboat

Based on the Chobe River the 5-star, 42-metre long luxury houseboat, the Zambezi Queen, offers unparalleled sophistication in one of the most remote Safari Destinations in Africa
This unique river safari holiday can be enjoyed with a drink in hand on the deck, or from the comfort of your bed in one of the luxury suites or from one of the tender boats which get you closer to the animals and closer to the Safari experience than you can imagine.

The 14 suites are all air-conditioning and each has it's own private balcony.
You will have unobstructed views of the Chobe River and African landscape beyond.

Unlike a land-based lodge, Zambezi Queen navigates roughly 25km of the Chobe River, allowing you to explore different vantage points and enjoy unparalleled game viewing. In fact, the banks of the Chobe National Park boast one of the densest populations of elephant on the African continent - estimated at approximately 120 000. The Park is also home to a large number of buffalo, leopard and lion, along with a variety of antelope and abundant birdlife.

The luxury houseboat's classic yet contemporary interior uses understated tones that make the wildlife on the banks of the river the star of the show. 
Whether you’re enjoying a gin and tonic on the upper deck at dusk or on a tender Boat attempting to land your very first tiger fish under the guidance of one of our experienced team, Expect first class service at every turn.
