At the confluence of two of Africa’s mightiest rivers you’ll find an island-dotted kingdom where four countries meet and where the Zambezi Queen, its genteel patron, holds court. Watch huge swathes of thirsty elephants coming down to drink from the comfort of your king-size bed. Or pick your favourite private balcony (the master suites have two) and capture that sunrise baobab shot from the perfect angle. This is a river safari of titanic proportions – but the only icebergs you’ll find are the ones clinking in your glass. Life just doesn’t get more effortless than this.
The Zambezi Queen Experience
The Zambezi Queen cruises along the Chobe River, close to the safari hubs of Victoria Falls and Kasane. This makes it an ideal start or end to your safari and a luxury river cruise with a difference. You’ll see elephants, buffalo and hippos in great numbers and get a head start on your bird list. It’s also a great way to avoid the crowds that sometimes frequent Chobe.
