Zambezi Queen

Zambezi Queen offers a unique Chobe River safari across three elegant levels. Each shared area maximises river views and enhances guest comfort. The houseboat blends nature, luxury, and calm, creating a peaceful retreat on the water.

All areas highlight the stunning location. Guests enjoy quiet moments with views of wildlife, water, and open floodplains. Locally inspired meals and warm Namibian service complete the experience.

Meals use seasonal ingredients from local markets. Enjoy a continental breakfast with cooked options, a fresh buffet lunch, and a four-course dinner. Local beers, wines, non-premium spirits, soft drinks, coffee, and tea are included.

Relax on the upper deck and enjoy wide views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The Chobe landscape remains visible from almost every corner of the boat.
