The Zambezi Queen provides visitors with a unique and elegant travel experience along the magnificent Chobe River. The great Chobe River divides Namibia's Caprivi Strip from Botswana's Chobe National Park.

Teeming with life, this National Park sprawls across some 11 000 m of the most massive populace of elephants and large groups of buffalo, waterbuck, roan, eland, sable, giraffe, and, if you are lucky, one of the rare pukus.

It is this vast expanse of untamed water where an adventure, unlike any other awaits. Experience the thrill of wildlife viewing from your private suite aboard the luxury 45-meter boat.

Whether you are dining in our third level restaurant watching the animals gather at the water at dusk, wildlife viewing from one of the private boats.
