Accommodation
Zambezi Queen | Chobe River Front
A Floating Boutique Hotel In A Class Of Her Own
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. Best of all, as a guest on the vessel, you can enjoy a truly unique and adventurous river safari holiday while still being surrounded by complete comfort and elegance.
Each of the 14 suites on Zambezi Queen features air-conditioning and your own private balcony, where you can enjoy unobstructed views of the Chobe River and African landscape beyond. Wake up to the sight of an elephant drinking from the river, or watch a fish eagle take flight – all from the comfort of your own luxurious bed.
Unlike a land-based lodge, Zambezi Queen navigates roughly 25km of the Chobe River, allowing you to explore different vantage points and enjoy unparalleled game viewing. The banks of the Chobe National Park boast 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 beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge | Okavango Delta
Situated on a private concession in the magnificent Okavango Delta, Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge rises out of the trees in the heart of the delta near a permanent river. A birder’s paradise, 450 species call the islands and waterways of the Okavango their home. As well as the excellent Big 5 sightings you may have, the rare red lechwe and semi-aquatic sitatunga antelope will undoubtedly be highlights on your trip. The lodge is characterised by sumptuous decor, skillful design and the area’s rich game viewing.
