Luxury Holidays On Board Zambezi Queen

Described as a 'luxury floating hotel', Zambezi Queen offers a different take on a luxury Botswana safari. Two and three-night cruises take guests on a wonderful exploration of the Chobe River between Botswana and Namibia with plenty of daily activities to choose from. Relax on the top deck where there is a bar, dining area and plunge pool with loungers, before enjoying seasonal ingredients from the local markets across buffet lunches and evening dinners. Morning and afternoon activities include boat-based wildlife and birding safaris and a visit to a local village, although you can also enjoy the peace and tranquillity of game-viewing from your private balcony or from the viewing deck. If you wish to continue your adventures, Zambezi Queen is perfect to combine with a land-based luxury Botswana safari and a visit to Victoria Falls.

Safari

Water-based safaris provide a different perspective on the wildlife that can be found along the Chobe River, bordering Namibia and Botswana. Each day, tender boats will take you in search of the wildlife, particularly the vast herds of elephants that can often be seen along the shoreline and splashing in the water amongst hippos and crocodiles. During the drier months, from March to November, many animals gather on the river bank in search of food and water. From September, the migratory birds start to arrive making it the best time for birders. Birding safaris are conducted by tender boat and led by a knowledgeable guide. Open-billed storks, rock pratinacoles and carmine bee-eaters are just some of the 450 bird species that can be seen along the captivating Chobe River.

Culture & History

Hop on a tender boat for an excursion to a local village, located on the flood plains of the East Caprivi in Namibia. This is home to the Subiya tribe who have lived here for over 100 years. Woven baskets and beaded jewellery can be purchased and make great souvenirs, all while helping the villagers to make a living.
