The Zambezi Queen is a 5-star, 42-metre long luxury houseboat moving along the banks of the great Chobe River. The banks of the Chobe National Park boast one of the densest populations of elephants on the African continent and the Park is also home to a large number of buffalo, leopard and lion, along with a variety of antelope and abundant birdlife.
There are 14 suites on Zambezi Queen, all featuring air-conditioning and your own private balcony, where you can enjoy unobstructed views of the Chobe River and the African landscape beyond. Wake up to the sight of an elephant drinking from the river, or watch a fish eagle take flight - all from the comfort of your own luxurious bed. On the upper deck, you'll find the dining room, bar and a comfortable lounge with unobstructed views.
