Providing an alternative to land-based safaris, the Zambezi Queen glides down the Zambezi and Chobe rivers allowing big-game viewing from resplendent onboard surrounds. Wildlife and sophisticated comforts abound: Chobe National Park boasts one of the densest populations of elephant on the African continent, which can be watched from the private balcony of one of the 14 air-conditioned suites or from within the cabins, where the muted tones of Jenni Button’s designs offer a contrast to the colourful natural show on the banks.
