About Zambezi Queen
The luxurious Zambezi Queen offers two- and three-day cruises on the Chobe River beside Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
At 45m long and three storeys high, this river cruiser provides a relaxed way to explore the Chobe River away from the many lodges and hotels in the Kasane area. Its base, not far from the Victoria Falls and very close to Kasane International Airport, makes the boat a convenient addition to trips to Botswana's Okavango Delta, Namibia's Caprivi Strip or Zambia and Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls.
The Zambezi Queen offers an intimate and luxurious way to escape, to a large degree, from the often crowded Chobe riverfront area. Expect high levels of service in this atypical safari lodging which we think could make a great way to end a safari – particularly for those who are used to the finer things in life. For us, the river itself is the main draw. While game drives are an option, a wide variety of wildlife can be seen from the boat without the hassle of clearing immigration and transferring to a 4WD vehicle.

The luxurious Zambezi Queen offers two- and three-day cruises on the Chobe River beside Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
At 45m long and three storeys high, this river cruiser provides a relaxed way to explore the Chobe River away from the many lodges and hotels in the Kasane area. Its base, not far from the Victoria Falls and very close to Kasane International Airport, makes the boat a convenient addition to trips to Botswana's Okavango Delta, Namibia's Caprivi Strip or Zambia and Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls.
The Zambezi Queen has two mooring points along the river. Because of its shallow draft in the water, it is susceptible to wind and so sometimes needs to remain moored at one when the winds pick up. On our last stay on the ship, we had a rather exciting and admittedly, nail-biting close encounter with the riverbank when we were cruising – but the crew were quick to respond and we were soon enjoying sightings of elephant, buffalo and other wildlife as we cruised to our next mooring point.
The team of the Zambezi Queen aims to be as flexible as possible with activities, so these will vary on a day-to-day basis, taking into consideration the needs and interests of all their guests.
The two-night cruise departs on a Monday and Wednesday, and activities will usually include a morning game drive in Chobe National Park, as well as an afternoon/sundowner boat cruise. Note that you will need to clear both Namibia and Botswana immigration each way when taking a game drive. We left the houseboat on one of the tenderboats and then changed over to a large double-storey game-viewer boat for our sundowner cruise. While quite conspicuous, we found the views from our raised vantage point were a definite bonus.
On a three-night cruise, guests may also have the chance to visit a local village, – and the school, if you’re there on a weekday. In addition, there may be the opportunity for catch-and-release fishing and birding excursions on the tenderboats.
We discovered that the time spent getting to the park and back, as well as clearing immigration, made game drives rather tiring and lengthy excursions. Instead, we’d suggest using your time on board to explore the Chobe River itself, particularly in the dry season when wildlife – especially large herds of elephant and buffalo – congregate in high densities near the water’s edge. It’s not unusual for guests to do this, excusing themselves from activities and simply enjoying the splendid views from onboard.
There are 14 cabins spread across the two lower decks of the boat, each with either a double or twin beds and river views from a private balcony. Four of these cabins are larger 'luxury suites' and have their own private outdoor area complete with sunloungers. Two of these (24 and 26) have a sleeper couch that is spacious enough for one child (but likely to feel quite cramped with two). Each suite has an en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet, handbasin and a surprisingly well-proportioned shower cubicle.
The Zambezi Queen's interior is designed to feel light and airy, and the décor is distinctly stylish. Ceiling fans and specially designed shutter systems help to keep the rooms cool, even during the warmer summer months.
At the top of the Zambezi Queen is the entertainment deck, where you’ll find the dining room, a lounge with several sitting areas and a well-stocked bar. The dining room was specially designed to provide 360° views of the Chobe River and National Park, and the food – provided by top-quality chefs trained at a well-respected academy in Cape Town – was superb!
Also on this level is a sundeck with sunloungers and a small swimming pool. Because the water is pumped from the river, it’s likely to appear murky, but it’s filtered first so is perfectly fine to swim in.
The lower deck currently has a small reading room, where a few curios are available to purchase. We understand that there are plans to make this a more substantial curio shop and possibly to add a desk and computer for guests to use.
Geographics
- Location
- Caprivi Strip, Namibia
- Ideal length of stay
- Cruises are based on set departures. Two-night trips depart on Monday and Wednesday; three-night cruises on Friday.
- Directions
- The Zambezi Queen is located about 80km from Victoria Falls and Livingstone and 3km from Kasane. These all have international airports and operate regular scheduled flights out of Johannesburg, with Kasane the best option for a fly in either by charter or scheduled departure.
From Kasane, it’s a short ten-minute drive to the Botswanan immigration office; from Livingstone or Victoria Falls, the transfer takes about two hours. After clearing immigration in Botswana, guests are transferred by motorboat to the Namibian immigration post to clear Namibian immigration. From there, it’s usually about 15 minutes by boat, to the Zambezi Queen. - Accessible by

- Food quality
- Though we didn't have a chance to eat on the boat during our last visit to the Zambezi Queen Collection in July 2024, on a previous visit the food was of an outstanding quality with good variety.
Breakfast is served when guests return from their morning activity and will usually be a choice of cereals, cooked porridge, yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, muffins, cold meat and cheese platter, as well as a cooked option with eggs made to order.
Afternoon tea was scrumptious and substantial; more of a late lunch really. On offer were freshly baked scones, jam and cream, a decadent lemon meringue cake, savoury canapés, tuna salad and freshly baked bread.
During our stay, we had dinner in the private boma on the shore. We started with a delicious corn chowder served in individual pots, along with freshly baked bread. Dinner was a barbecue with a selection of meat, from lamb and steak to chicken. Sides included salads, cooked pumpkin, beans, carrots and potatoes. For those with room, dessert was a tart, lemon-soaked sponge with cream.
Vegetarians can be catered for, but advance notice should be given. - Dining style

- Further dining info, including room service
- There is no room service available on the Zambezi Queen
- Drinks included
- All soft drinks, mineral water, tea and coffee, local wine and beer are included. Premium brands, spirits and liqueurs will cost extra.
Children
- Attitude towards children
- Children over the age of 7 are permitted on-board the Zambezi Queen, but they don’t consider themselves ‘child-friendly’.
- Special activities & services
- There are no special activities or services provided for children.
- Equipment
- Two of the suites have a sleeper couch, which can sleep two children, but is probably better suited for one child.
- Generally recommended for children
- In some ways the Zambezi Queen could be great for a larger family if booking sole use of the entire boat. In other circumstances, because of the limited size of the boat and proximity of the rooms to each other, children – and adults – are asked to respect their fellow guests and there isn’t anywhere to ‘let off steam’. So we believe a cruise is likely to be suitable only for older, more mature children.
- Notes
- The pool is unfenced and the river has crocodiles and hippos. Children must be under the constant supervision of a parent or guardian.

Caprivi Strip in January
January marks the heart of the rainy season in the Caprivi Strip. The Zambezi and Kwando rivers swell, nourishing the lush landscapes of Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks. Rainfall can be heavy but localised, with temperatures around 30°C/86°F.
The verdant environment makes a refreshing change, especially in typically drier areas. Birdlife is abundant, with many species in full breeding plumage and migratory birds present in force. In Nkasa Rupara National Park, the abundant water allows wildlife to disperse, making it more challenging to spot. However, boat cruises along the major rivers offer excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and birdwatching.
- Variable weather: hot and dry or humid with rain
- Occasional localised thunderstorms in the region
- Abundant birdlife, especially migratory species
- Wildlife dispersed, harder to spot in Bwabwata
- Few tourists, low rates at lodges and camps

Weather in January
Caprivi Strip in February
February is the wettest month in the Caprivi Strip, with the Zambezi Region experiencing some of the heaviest rainfall. The Kavango and Zambezi rivers reach their peak levels, creating a lush, green paradise.
Days alternate between clear, hot and humid, and cooler with building clouds culminating in spectacular thunderstorms. These storms can cause flash floods, bringing ephemeral rivers to life and making travel more challenging, especially in remote areas like Khaudum National Park. The landscape feels vibrant and alive; insects and smaller animals are more easily seen in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks. Many birds and animals are raising their young. However, the abundance of water and thicker vegetation can make it harder to spot larger wildlife. Boat safaris along the Chobe River offer excellent game viewing opportunities.
- Weather alternates between hot/dry and humid/rainy
- Thunderstorms meander over the lush landscape
- Vibrant birdlife in wetlands and floodplains
- Wildlife scattered across Bwabwata National Park
- Low tourist numbers, great deals on accommodation

Caprivi Strip in March
March usually sees the main rains in the Caprivi Strip tailing off, though precipitation varies across the region. Many days are clear with strong sun, while others may end with short, spectacular thunderstorms. As the month progresses, these rains reduce in frequency and volume. The landscape remains vivid and green, particularly in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks.
Wildlife viewing can be challenging as animals disperse, but patient observers may spot young animals and a variety of bird species in breeding plumage. The Kwando and Zambezi rivers remain high, offering excellent opportunities for boat safaris and fishing. Impalila Island becomes more accessible as water levels start to recede.
- Weather varies: clear and hot or cloudy and humid
- Thunderstorms decrease as the month progresses
- Animals well-fed after months of plentiful food
- Wildlife viewing challenging in Bwabwata Park
- Few visitors, low rates at lodges and camps

Caprivi Strip in April
April in the Caprivi Strip is characterised by increasingly dry weather, with temperatures starting to fall. Days remain pleasantly warm, and humidity is still high, but nights start to have a slight chill. The recent rains leave the region lush and green, particularly in Bwabwata and Nkasa Rupara National Parks.
Animals are in excellent condition, often with fast-growing young. As the atmosphere clears, photographers can capture spectacular landscapes and healthy wildlife. Stargazing becomes more rewarding as night skies clear.
In the northern parks like Mudumu and Bwabwata, water and food remain plentiful, so big game can be more dispersed. However, boat safaris along the Zambezi and Chobe rivers continue to offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. April is an ideal time for birdwatching, with many migratory species still present.
- Nights become cooler and drier in the region
- Easter sees a slight increase in visitor numbers
- Wildlife still dispersed in Bwabwata National Park
- Migratory birds begin their northward journey
- Lush green landscapes and crisp, clean air

Caprivi Strip in May
By May, the Caprivi Strip is drying out, but if rains have been good the land remains green. Wildlife in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks starts to congregate around permanent water sources. The air quality and clarity can be amazing, making this an ideal month for photography.
Typical days are warm with crisp, clear mornings and blue skies. Evenings are cool, with temperatures possibly dipping below 10°C/50°F overnight. Many lodges still charge low season prices, offering good value. The combination of increasingly good wildlife sightings, beautiful landscapes, and crystal-clear air makes May one of the best months to visit the Caprivi Strip. River activities along the Zambezi, Chobe, and Kwando rivers are particularly enjoyable, with pleasant temperatures and good wildlife viewing opportunities.
- Pleasant weather: warm days and cool nights
- Landscapes remain green as the region dries out
- Excellent visibility for wildlife photography
- Low visitor numbers and moderate lodge rates

Caprivi Strip in June
June sees the Caprivi Strip fully dry, with blue, cloudless skies. Days are warm and dry, while nights can be cold, sometimes near freezing in more exposed areas. Warm clothing is essential for early morning game drives in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks.
Wildlife viewing enters its dry-season pattern, focusing around waterholes and rivers. The Kwando and Zambezi rivers offer excellent boat safari opportunities, with animals frequently coming to drink. Photographers benefit from superb air clarity, with minimal dust or smoke. Fishing, particularly for tigerfish, becomes increasingly popular as water levels stabilise.
Historically, June accommodation prices have been low, but the region's increasing popularity means some lodges now charge higher prices.
- Clear days, cold nights
- Great conditions for landscape photography
- Moderate lodge rates in this shoulder season
- Wildlife gathers at waterholes for easier viewing
- Some greenery persists in the lush landscape

Caprivi Strip in July
July in the Caprivi Strip offers reliably warm daytime temperatures above 20°C/68°F and excellent wildlife sightings. Rain is extremely rare, and clear skies make for great photographs, especially in Bwabwata and Nkasa Rupara National Parks. Nights can be very cold, potentially below freezing in exposed areas. Visitors should dress in layers and be prepared for chilly morning and evening game drives.
As vegetation dries out, game concentrates around water sources., and the Kwando and Zambezi rivers become wildlife hotspots, offering excellent boat safari opportunities. Lodges charge high season rates, and many are fully booked well in advance, especially during European school holidays.
- Dry days, cold nights ideal for stargazing
- European holidays bring more family travellers
- Peak season with higher rates and busy lodges
- Excellent wildlife viewing in Bwabwata Park

Caprivi Strip in August
August is the height of winter in the Caprivi Strip. Expect cloudless skies and warm sun during the day, but nights can drop to freezing in exposed areas. Warm clothes are essential for early morning and evening activities.
The landscape is dry, with much vegetation turned golden brown, creating stark and beautiful scenery in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks. Wildlife congregates around available water sources, guaranteeing excellent animal sightings, especially along the Kwando and Zambezi rivers. Boat safaris and fishing expeditions are highly rewarding, with animals frequently seen coming to the water's edge to drink.
August is the most popular time to visit, particularly for families. Advance booking is crucial for the best lodges.
- Dry days and cold nights continue in Caprivi
- Cloudless skies offer spectacular stargazing
- Busier season, especially for family accommodation options
- Peak rates and advance bookings necessary

The air becomes dustier, creating atmospheric scenes for photography. In Bwabwata, Mudumu, and Nkasa Rupara National Parks, animals cluster around remaining water sources, making September one of the best months for game viewing. It's a popular time for visitors, with high season rates in effect. Safari enthusiasts often choose this month for its reliable wildlife sightings. Boat safaris along the Zambezi and Chobe rivers offer excellent opportunities to see elephants and other wildlife coming to drink.

Caprivi Strip in October
October is typically the hottest and driest month in the Caprivi Strip. Temperatures build throughout the month, with daily highs potentially exceeding 40°C/104°F, though the low humidity makes it bearable. In rare years, isolated showers may occur late in the month.
Wildlife viewing in Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks is at its peak, with animals congregating around dwindling water sources. The Zambezi and Kwando rivers become crucial lifelines for wildlife. October is popular among wildlife enthusiasts and commands peak-season prices. Dust and occasional smoke can create hazy conditions, challenging for photographers but creating dramatic scenes. Boat safaris offer respite from the heat and excellent game viewing.
- Peak wildlife-viewing in Bwabwata National Park
- Hot and dry conditions throughout the region
- Hazy air due to dust and occasional bush fires
- High season rates at lodges and camps persist

Caprivi Strip in November
November in the Caprivi Strip can be unpredictable, alternating between hot, dry periods and cooler, cloudier days. Typically, mornings start clear and hot, with clouds building in the afternoon. Humidity increases, often culminating in spectacular late-afternoon thunderstorms. These storms are usually localised, bringing relief to some areas while others remain dry. Places receiving rain quickly flush green, softening the landscape in Bwabwata and Nkasa Rupara National Parks.
Many mammals give birth as the first rains arrive. Once rains begin, wildlife in the parks becomes more dispersed, making game viewing more challenging. However, this is an excellent time for birdwatchers, with migrant species arriving in breeding plumage. Boat safaris along the major rivers continue to offer good wildlife viewing opportunities.
- Variable conditions depending on the rains
- New life emerges with the onset of rains
- Wildlife viewing shifts to wetter areas
- Shoulder season offers value for money
- Increased chance of showers later in the month

Caprivi Strip in December
December marks the first proper month of the Caprivi Strip's rainy season and is one of the hottest. Mornings are often clear, giving way to building clouds and occasional short, spectacular thunderstorms. These rains are generally welcomed, clearing the air of dust and prompting plant life to erupt across Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks.
Young animals abound, and many bird species are in breeding plumage. Wildlife disperses widely with the increased water availability, making game viewing more challenging but rewarding for patient observers. The Zambezi and Kwando rivers offer cooler temperatures and continued opportunities for boat safaris and fishing. Christmas and New Year fall within local summer holidays, so accommodation options can be surprisingly busy, especially around Katima Mulilo and other major towns.
- Hot and humid, occasional cooling showers
- Landscape turns green where rain has fallen
- Renewed energy in the lush Caprivi environment
- Clear air enhances photography opportunities
- Excellent for birdwatching, challenging for mammals
