Moving along the banks of the great Chobe River, our three Chobe Princess houseboats offer unparalleled sophistication in one of the most remote locations in the world with our all-inclusive African river offering. As you drift down the Chobe River and spot incredible wildlife scenes, you’ll be able to completely relax in an intimate river safari experience.…
With only a small number of guests per boat staying in one of the three Chobe Princesses is like being on your very own houseboat. The entire boat can also be booked exclusively, giving you your very own private villa on the water. Two of our Chobe Princess houseboats have four cabins each: three Cabins and one Superior Cabin. The third Chobe Princess is larger with five cabins: four Cabins and one Superior Cabin, which is located on the upper (top) deck.
Front Row Seats
Instead of sliding windows, our Superior Cabins each have their own private balcony. Imagine waking in the morning and stepping out onto your balcony facing Chobe National Park. Later, while the boat is sailing, you’ll have a front-row seat to the incredible landscapes and wildlife on the riverbanks. What’s more, the top cabin has an elevation that’s excellent for wildlife spotting.

As a guest on one of the Chobe Princess, we make sure that every one of the three hearty meals we serve per day are unforgettably delicious – along with the drinks and snacks we provide in between. At sunrise, enjoy a warming cup of tea or coffee with wholesome rusks and biscuits before departing by tender boat for game viewing and other excursions. After an exciting morning – or even if you’ve chosen to stay on board and lie in – settle in on the deck for a fresh continental buffet or a hot English breakfast if you prefer. Lunch and dinner are set menus with a single option, so please do let us know of any dietary requirements before you arrive. After dinner, enjoy a coffee and a nightcap before heading to your cabin to round off the perfect day.
UNINTERRUPTED RELAXATION
Our Chobe Princess houseboat itinerary is flexible so while we have a range of activities on offer, you can choose just how much you want to pack into your holiday or how relaxed you want to be. Perhaps you want to enjoy a water-based safari or a village tour on the Namibian side of the river? Or perhaps you’d prefer a spot of bird watching or fishing instead? You may even decide to simply remain on board and soak up the spectacular view as the Chobe Princess houseboat glides its way along the banks of the Chobe River.
