Chobe river houseboat safaris

Chobe river houseboat  safaris and Zambezi river cruises operate upstream from Victoria Falls.  Where the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers meet, they form Impalila Island.  It is also here where four countries meet namely Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

This unique location makes for a wide range of activities from premier fishing and birding to relaxing holidays and game viewing.

For a luxury experience then the Zambezi Queen is in a class of its own.
Accommodation is offered in 14 suites with uninterrupted views of the river.
For families or small groups then the Chobe Princesses would be best.
