Introduction

Three decks and 45 metres long, the Zambezi Queen Houseboat offers a relaxed and special way to explore and photograph the Chobe River far away from all other lodges and hotels. A luxurious escape with high levels of service awaits all.

Enjoying a drink whilst relaxing on the deck as the wildlife and birdlife of the region pass you by, cool off in the plunge pool while watching elephants play in the river. What could be better?

On offer is a two-night cruise or a three-night cruise, we at Uyaphi would suggest the three-night version but this depends on your available time and budget. Either way, the Zambezi Queen is sure to be one of the many highlights of your Botswana Safari.

Four spacious master suites are also on offer each one with a large private outdoor area complete with sun loungers.

Cuisine and Wine

Meals are outstanding with good variety across the board, from a full continental breakfast to afternoon tea (a late lunch) to dinner, one is going to be pleasantly surprised.

Local beers and wines are complimentary during activities and at meal times.
