The Zambezi Queen is a tri-level houseboat built to exacting standards – an ideal vessel upon which to explore the mighty Chobe River.

Explore one of Africa’s great rivers – the Chobe – on a sophisticated houseboat. The Zambezi Queen is a tri-level vessel built to exacting standards, accommodating 28 passengers in 14 luxury suites. Every suite is contemporary in decor and contains an ensuite bathroom and private balcony with panoramic views.
