Moving along the banks of the great Chobe River, the Zambezi Queen is a 42-metre long luxury houseboat offering unparalleled sophistication in one of the most remote locations on the planet. The Zambezi Queen navigates up to 25km of the Chobe River, allowing guests to explore different vantage points and enjoy authentic game viewing in complete comfort and elegance.
The Zambezi Queen offers luxury accommodation in the form of 14 tasteful and luxurious suites – ten suites and four luxury suites, all with outer decks so you can soak up the revitalising Chobe River breeze and appreciate uninterrupted views of the unique African landscape beyond.
The suites on the Zambezi Queen features stylish interiors, air conditioning and spectacular panoramic views with your own private balcony. On the top deck you are transported to a sophisticated leisurely space with a separate dining area, bar, rear viewing deck, intimate lounge and a large front deck with loungers and plunge pool.
EXTRAORDINARILY COMFORTABLE
For added comfort, choose one of our four Luxury Suites at the bow of the boat. Not only are Zambezi Queen Luxury Suites more spacious but they also have two balconies each, and a panoramic view that ensures you never miss a thing! On the larger balcony you’ll find two deckchairs and a table; the perfect place to enjoy your private front-row seat while the boat is sailing.

Dining on the Zambezi Queen is an indulgent treat all on its own. Using seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets, meals on board consist of a fresh cold buffet selection before enjoying a full English breakfast, a buffet lunch and a choice of two plated menu options for dinner.
Every mouthwatering dish is prepared by our locally trained Namibian kitchen staff, who combine authentic local flavours with their passion for creating sophisticated meals suited to discerning palates.
LUXURIOUS RELAXATION
A stay on-board Zambezi Queen is a different kind of safari. It’s the kind where you get to decide if you want to be up with the birds, or prefer to laze all morning watching game from the comfort of your bed. Our 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.
Don’t think of your time on Zambezi Queen as a river cruise. Instead, think of it as a floating boutique hotel that departs and returns to the same point, navigating roughly 25km of the Chobe River weather permitting. You’ll first arrive at the Zambezi Queen via a short tender boat ride from the Kasane Immigration Office. We offer staggered transfer times on the hour between 13:00 and 16:00, so you can arrive at your own pace and don’t have to worry about missing the boat.
Let us take you on a uniquely African adventure with uninterrupted views of the Chobe National Park, home to over 120 000 elephants and more incredible wildlife.
The Zambezi Queen sails on scheduled weekly departures every Monday (two-nights or four-nights), Wednesday(two-nights) and Friday (three-nights).
