Zambezi Queen

Moored on the Chobe River, its decks looking out over floodplains teeming with wildlife, the Zambezi Queen offers one-of-a-kind luxury at the heart of elephant country.

Moored on the Chobe River, its decks looking out over floodplains teeming with wildlife, the Zambezi Queen offers one-of-a-kind luxury at the heart of elephant country. Offering boutique hotel sophistication, this modern, smooth-lined house boat has just 14 suites and is ideal for a honeymoon or special occasion.

From their balcony, guests watch animals at the river’s edge or explore the river on small boats, piloted by expert local guides. The Chobe River is a classic dry-season destination and game viewing from May to October is exceptional. Large herds of elephant and buffalo emerge from the woodlands, shadowed by lions. Grazing antelope attract other predators and the river is full of hippo and crocodile.

Inside the Zambezi Queen, crisp linen and minimalist, African-chic décor stand out. There are luxuries such as a swimming pool and library plus internet facilities. Fine dining is enjoyed in a convivial, elegant dining room and the night skies are often magnificent, best viewed from the top-deck bar.

Lodge Highlights:

  • Unique Chobe River houseboat accommodation
  • Elegant suites with game-viewing balconies
  • Small-boat safaris, bird watching & fishing
  • Crisp, modern design in flawless surroundings

The Chobe River is one of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife destinations, renowned for its dry-season elephant and buffalo herds.

Reviews

A great tour operator that was a pleasure to deal with.

We used Safari Online to put together a mid-range Botswana trip for a group of four going to three different camps and then onto Vic Falls. We asked several operators to provide options (through this great safari bookings website) and Walter Kohrs from Safari Online was easily the most responsive and quickest to provide different but realistic options and at good prices. In the end it was a no brainer to go with Safari Online. Walter always responded to my queries quickly, with honest and valuable responses that were clear and made sense. From our perspective he tailored a good mix of places for both our budget and standard of facilities that suited us perfectly, with enough information and links to help us make our decisions. In the end each camp was different and had different aspects and strengths that made each unique. We loved it.

Above expectations

Excellent communications and service. We dealt with Sabrina and she is awesome. The safari tour was amazing, i can highly recommend going to Elephant Plains. Its a very special place run by awesome people.

Werner
Excellent service and support for our Africa vacation

Working with Walter was a great experience. He listened to us and helped us build a vacation that exceeded all of our expectations. We really appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail.

Dan
Perfect

We are six older but experienced travellers who usually do our own planning. Luck led us to Safari Online and Walter. His ideas proved spot on. Throughout our planning Safari Online have been helpful, always answering emailed questions, no matter how basic, straightaway. We’ve had probably our best ever holiday in years of travel, everything went smoothly. Pickups and transfers were on time. Staff in all the places we stayed were friendly and helpful. I can’t think of one adverse remark except maybe seeing a lion that wasn’t asleep, though I think if it could have been arranged Walter would have done so.

Jennifer
Professional, patient, efficient and responsive. Met all our travel needs and requirements spot on

Communication was excellent – I asked A LOT of questions and did a ton of research myself and Walter was extremely patient with me and very responsive. he was straight forward and extremely professional.  Tour itself was excellent – an incredible experience and one never to be forgotten. Everything was spot on.

Neena
They kept us fully informed and updated throughout planning, travel, etc.

It was excellent all around. Everything worked out well. An experience of a lifetime! The game viewing rides were fun and very informative.

Karen
Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver. She responded to our requests promptly and gave us several options with links to each option; we ultimately chose Lukimbi. She then coordinated our flights to and from the property, arranged the drivers necessary to get us from the airport to the lodge and back again, and sent the appropriate paperwork to each of us to verify each step of the process. We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!
