"Zambezi Queen - absolutely 5 star"

2 nights Arrived 13 Apr 2011
"The Zambezi Queen is fantastic:

- superb location moored in the middle of the Chobe river - I lay on my bed watching elephants on the bank of the river, and at night I went to sleep listening to the hippos on the bank nearby

- service is first rate, from the welcome song as I boarded, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It truly fely as if I couldn't have been looked after any better

- food is excellent, breakfast and dinner on board were very good, and included afternoon tea, but the highlight was the dinner on land on the last night. A sort boat ride to the bank where our tables had been arranged under the stars, lit by lanterns, and served a local boma, with food, dancing and music - quite magical.

- activities - game drive, boat rides along the bank (saw that big croc I was looking for!), and more fishing

- star gazing from the top deck was excellent because it is moored away from any lights.

Overall highly recommended, I loved this" See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe; 2n in Namibia
