Accommodation
A stylish and sophisticated floating boutique hotel boasting an unparalleled level of designer chic. Featuring an upper deck lounge, bar and sun deck with plunge pool, the elegant dining room enjoys unobstructed views over the water and floodplains. Just fourteen suites promise an exclusive experience, each furnished in modern African décor with floor-to-ceiling windows that lead onto a private balcony. Four Master Suites are located at the front of the boat with balconies and views on two sides. A full breakfast, buffet lunch and formal dining in the evening are included with complimentary local wines and beers. Two and three night cruises are offered; complimentary activities include a water based safari by tender boat, a cultural village visit and tiger and bream fishing when in season.
The Zambezi Queen offers its passengers luxurious river safaris and unrivalled experiences within one of Africa's last true wildernesses. Spot elephant and buffalo on land safaris in Chobe National Park, visit a local village or glide along the Chobe River in a traditional mokoro as carmine bee-eaters dart along the banks.
The best time to visit Botswana for game viewing in the delta areas is during the dry winter season from April to October when animals are drawn to water sources. Days are warm and sunny although nights can drop below freezing – in October temperatures can be particularly hot. The Okavango area tends to be more moderate than the Kalahari where seasonal differences are more extreme and activities vary according to wet (November – March) and dry (April – October) seasons.
