Description

The Zambezi Queen was designed specifically for wildlife observation. With a maximum capacity of 28 passengers, the river ship operates in one of the most fascinating places in the world: the legendary Chobe River in Africa. As it slowly flows down the river, the creatures don't feel threatened, offering unique, up-close experiences to admire. In order to preserve the environment in which it sails, the eco-friendly Zambezi Queen uses a waterjet propulsion system and fuel-efficient generators with limited emissions.
The suites have private balconies from which you can enjoy unobstructed views of the river and the African landscape. There is an enclosed and air-conditioned dining room, lounge bar and outdoor sun deck complete with a hot tub on the upper deck. You can enjoy South African wines, beer and local spirits. Do not miss the African-themed dinner with traditional dishes and musical entertainment.
