Each suite has its own private balcony, en-suite bathroom and full length sliding shutters for panoramic views of the river. Hairdryers, toiletries, gowns and slippers are provided. The rooms also have king-sized beds, private safes and fans. Master suites are slightly bigger, and have larger balconies that house two deckchairs and a table.
The Chobe River is one of the best destinations for wildlife photographers in Africa and photographic safari boats are available on request. The Zambezi Queen also offers water-based game drives by tender boat, from where you can see the animals from even closer, bird-watching safaris where you can enjoy the unique and diverse birdlife and fishing safaris where you may catch a tigerfish, one of the greatest fighting fish in the world. Local cultural tours are also available.
