Chobe River Safaris By World Journeys

Luxury River Cruises aboard Chobe Princess or Zambezi Queen

The Chobe Princess and Zambezi Queen vessels offer luxury floating boutique safaris on the Chobe River where Botswana and Namibia meet.

The banks of the Chobe National Park boast one of the densest populations of elephant on the African continent – estimated at approximately 120,000. The Park is also home to a large number of buffalo, leopard and lion, along with a variety of antelope and abundant birdlife. Navigating approximately 50 km of the Chobe River, enjoy moments such as waking up to the sight of an elephant drinking from the river or watching a fish eagle take flight, all from the comfort of your own luxurious bed.

**Chobe Princess:** 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. With a guest-to-staff ratio of 2 to 1, the Chobe Princess houseboats provide a high level of personal service and attention. Each cabin accommodates two guests, offering a comfortable and well-appointed space for guests to relax and enjoy the surrounding river scenery. Two of the Chobe Princess houseboats feature four cabins, and the third, larger houseboat offers five cabins.

**Zambezi Queen:** The 42-metre Zambezi Queen offers luxury accommodation in ten standard suites and four spacious master suites, all with private balconies and fans, full length sliding shutter doors, and mosquito screens. Master Suites have their own private deck with outdoor furniture and panoramic views. Common areas include a library and a computer facility with internet access, dining facilities, an open plan lounge, a telescope for exploring the night sky and a well appointed bar. The top deck offers a shaded area with comfortable seating, a plunge pool and sun bathing area.

The Zambezi Experience By World Journeys

The Zambezi Experience By World Journeys

The word Zambezi is evocative of adventure, exploration, stunning vistas and prolific wildlife viewing – all focused on one of Africa’s greatest rivers which flows for over 2,500 km and drains a catchment basin five times the size of New Zealand.

Begin your journey at the Zambezi’s most noted landmark, Victoria Falls, before flying downriver to Mana Pools National Park – a World Heritage Site where the abundant water and vegetation result in a wealth of big game and allow for a range of river and land-based safari activities. Your next stop is beautiful Lake Kariba before ending your safari with three nights in Hwange National Park. Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve, Hwange is known as the land of the giants for its big elephant herds and is also home to lion, leopard, cheetah and African wild dog.

This itinerary can be tailor-made, with the number of days, places visited, and activities varied to suit you.
