  THE ZAMBEZI QUEEN
  The last word in floating luxury on the Chobe River
         

The Zambezi Queen operates on the Chobe River close to where the four countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia meet.The boat has 3 levels with

the upper deck devoted to the main entertainment areas of dining, lounge bar and an outdoor relaxation deck with a plunge pool.


The first and  second levels house the 14 cabins of which four are master suites which are larger than the standard suite, siome with their own private balconies.
The boat has been tastefully decorated by well known South African designer Jenni Button with the end result classically timeless chic.


Because of power limitations the boat does not offer air conditioning but clever use of shutters placed on the outer edges of the deck, plus the use of ceiling fans ensures the boat is cool even in the summer months. The whole boat including the top entertainement deck has mosquito screening.

 

The Zambezi Queen offers water based and land based activities to its guests. Water-based activities include game viewing on smaller tender boats which allow for up-close game sightings, as well as bream fishing and bird watching.

 

Land activities offered to guests include half day  game drives in Chobe National Park with highly qualified Zambezi Queen game guides & a cultural tour of a local village.
