Cabins

Glide along the Chobe River aboard the Zambezi Queen, a boutique 28-guest ship where panoramic views, wildlife at the water's edge, and warm service create an unforgettable safari experience.

The Zambezi Queen is unlike any other in AmaWaterways' fleet. With space for just 28 guests, she sails the Chobe River along the Botswana–Namibia border. Elephants, hippos, and abundant birdlife can be seen directly from the deck. Days include game viewing by boat, traditional mokoro safaris, and guided village tours, while evenings feature award-winning dining paired with South African wines. Designed with sustainability in mind, the ship uses environmentally friendly systems to preserve the region's fragile ecosystem. With her boutique floating-lodge style, warm service, and seamless integration with land-based safaris, the Zambezi Queen offers a truly unique way to experience Africa.

Cruise ID: 78197

Here, the river itself is alive with elephants drinking at dawn, hippos surfacing in the afternoon, and birds filling the sky. To sail the Chobe is to witness Africa's great wildlife in its natural rhythm.

Gratuities are left to your discretion, but we provide general itinerary and destination-specific guidelines in the My Cruise section under “Prepare Your Cruise” within “Life On Board.” Guests may also choose to pre-pay gratuities for their river cruise and certain pre- or post-cruise land packages. For current rates or details, please contact your travel advisor or the AmaWaterways Reservations team.
