Zambezi Queen
The Zambezi Queen is a luxurious houseboat, situated on the Chobe River, accommodating a total of 32 guests.
The boat is berthed close to the meeting point of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, cruising the Namibian waters of the Chobe River. 80km away you will find the famous Victoria Falls, and access to the boat is via Kasane Immigration in the northern town of Kasane in Botswana. Visitors may fly into either Kasane Airport in Botswana, Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe, or Livingstone Airport in Zambia, from where road transfers to Kasane Immigration will be arranged.
Zambezi Queen guests are afforded the opportunity of game spotting in the famous Chobe National Park, home to over 120 000 elephants, and high densities of all other game, plus over 400 species of birds. Hippo and crocodile are regularly sighted, and buffalo congregate here during the dry season.
The liner has 10 suites and 4 master suites, all with en-suite facilities and private balconies. Triple suites can be arranged for adults sharing with children younger than 16 years. The suites offer king sized beds (or twin beds on request), and are furnished with elegance and luxury in mind. Two of the four Master Suites have their own private deck with outdoor furniture and the remaining two offer panoramic views with doors and windows on two sides. All suites have fans, safes, sliding mosquito net doors, sliding shutters for privacy, and private balconies.
The dining area of the Zambezi Queen is situated on the third level, with breath-taking views in three directions. Meals are prepared by a top chef, who serves meals with an African theme.
The first level of the boat has an air-conditioned reading room which houses books of local interest, a DVD player with wildlife documentaries and computer facilities. On this level you will find the suites and master suites too, which also spread to the second level.
The third level is really the entertainment deck with its dining facilities, lounge area and bar. Mosquito screens have been placed strategically to ensure a comfortable experience for guests. On the top deck are two shaded areas which include seating, a pool and a sun bathing area.
Activities on board the Zambezi Queen include:
Tiger and bream fishing in season
Game viewing from smaller tender boats, allowing you to get close to the game as it comes to the water’s edge to drink
Bird watching from smaller boats
Star gazing via telescope
Swimming in the onboard pool
Sunbathing on deck
Game drives and cultural tours
The Zambezi Queen offers both two and three night itineraries, with the first night spent on the banks of the Chobe River close to the customs office, the second night about 20km upstream near a cultural village, and for those spending three nights, the third night will be at another mooring place on the banks of the River.
