Zambezi Queen 

Moving along the banks of the great Chobe River, Zambezi Queen is a 5-star, 42-metre long luxury houseboat offering unparalleled sophistication in one of the most remote locations on the planet. Zambezi Queen navigates up to 25km of the Chobe River, allowing guests to explore different vantage points and enjoy unparalleled game viewing in complete comfort and elegance.

The Chobe National Park boasts 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 and is within travelling distance of one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, the magnificent Victoria Falls.

Best time to travel: There is no best or worst time to visit the Chobe area, because every month offers visitors something special. However, if guests are looking for a pure wildlife experience, the drier winter months from June to August see greater concentrations of game along the banks of the Chobe River. The summer months from November to May see the birdlife explode with the addition of the summer migrants to the area. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, you’ll be excited to know that we have excellent fishing through the summer and winter – it’s just that the techniques we use change.
