Introduction
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 Zambezi Queen and Chobe Princesses navigate approximately 25 km of the Chobe River, allowing you to enjoy moments such as waking up to the sight of an elephant drinking from the river or watching a fish eagle take flight, all from the comfort of your own luxurious bed.
Chobe Princess: As you drift down the Chobe River and spot incredible wildlife scenes, you’ll be able to completely relax in an intimate river safari experience. With only a small number of guests per boat staying in one of the three Chobe Princesses is like being on your very own houseboat. The entire boat can also be booked exclusively, giving you your very own private villa on the water.
Zambezi Queen: Offers luxury accommodation in the form of 14 tasteful and luxurious suites – ten standard suites and four spacious master suites, all with outer decks so you can soak up the revitalising Chobe River breeze and appreciate uninterrupted views of the unique African landscape beyond. All suites have private balconies and fans, full length sliding shutter doors, mosquito screens and the finest finishes. Master Suites have their own private deck with outdoor furniture and panoramic views. On entering the first of 3 decks, guests will find a well appointed library and a computer facility with internet access. The third level is home to dining facilities, an open plan lounge, a computerised telescope for exploring the African night sky and a well appointed bar. There are two outside areas on the top deck, one aft which provides a shaded area with comfortable seating and the other on the foredeck which includes a plunge pool and sun bathing area.
