Accommodation Options
Suite
From the moment you step on-board the Zambezi Queen, it becomes apparent that no expense was spared in creating one of the world’s most unique river safari experiences. Equipped with 10 tasteful and luxurious suites - all suites come with en-suite bathrooms (shower only) and full length sliding shutters for both privacy and protection from the sun.
Hairdryers, toiletries, gowns and slippers are provided for your comfort, while electronic safes in each room are ideal for storing your valuables. All suites accommodate two adults, and two of the larger suites can take a maximum of three adults. Suites can be configured with either one king-sized bed or two single beds.
Luxury Suite
While both types of suites let you relax in a luxurious setting, our four Luxury Suites are slightly bigger, and have larger balconies that house two deckchairs and a table. Our Luxury Suites also feature both side and front sliding doors for a truly panoramic view of your surroundings.
Suite - Triple
Two of the Suites are triple rooms with an extra bed and can accommodate up to three adults each.
Dining & Cuisine
Bar, Lounge and Dining
Dining Room
Our dining room offers a peaceful corner to share an intimate dinner, or gather to share tales over culinary dishes. Enjoy three hearty meals a day, starting with a continental or cooked breakfast. Indulge in a buffet lunch and end the day with a four-course plated dinner, complemented by drinks and light snacks in between.
Bar
Golden hour and beyond, settle in as the sun dips beneath the Chobes’ horizon. Enjoy a selection of Southern Africa’s finest wines, a delicious cocktail mixed with precision and flare, or an ice-cold lager served with the friendliest smile and snacks.
Lounge
For the best views, join us on the upper deck. Find a spot to relax in the lounge, on the bow or stern - each area offers a spectacular view of the Chobe River and unobstructed views of the unique African landscape, through the large floor to ceiling glass sliding doors.
Special dietary requirements can be catered for, but we ask that you specify this when you book - our remote location means that we need a bit of time to source ingredients that may be out of the ordinary.
