Chobe National ParkBotswana· 14 Rooms · £££

In one of the most remote locations on the planet

The banks of the Chobe National Park boast one of the densest populations of elephant on the African continent

Moving along the banks of the great Chobe River, Zambezi Queen is a 5-star, 42-metre long luxury houseboat offering unparalleled sophistication. 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. Aside from elephants, the Park is also home to many buffalo, leopard and lion, along with a variety of antelope and abundant bird life. The Zambezi Queen departs on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday for two- or three-night river safaris traverses 25km of the Chobe River while you soak up beautiful scenery and enjoy mouth-watering food.

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. With ten standard suites and four master suites all offering elegance and luxurious comfort. 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.

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. Their itinerary is flexible so while they 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.
