From Johannesburg to Windhoek
The Zambezi Queen is specially designed to travel Botswana’s Chobe River, where you’ll enjoy dramatic views and incredible wildlife.
The Zambezi Queen features modern rooms, outstanding cuisine and
an open air pool deck, all of which can be enjoyed whilst game
viewing. What’s not to love about this stylish ‘floating
lodge’?
Johannesburg is a city that comes with plenty of baggage, and it remains a place where the divide between the haves and have-nots is stark. But urban renewal is transforming former no-go zones into the city's most happening new neighbourhoods, and there are some excellent museums for those who want to grapple with South Africa's difficult past, including the moving Apartheid Museum.
The town of Kasane, in the far north of Botswana, is the gateway to Chobe National Park. This extraordinary wildlife reserve is best known for its large elephant population, and is also home to species including giraffes, lions, leopards, baboons and hippos.
Botswana’s magnificent Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s most impressive wildlife destinations, home to huge herds of elephants and Cape buffalo, which are drawn to the banks of the Chobe river to drink in the drier winter months.
Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders, known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ in the local Lozi language - ‘the smoke that thunders’. The falls straddle the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, at the point where the Zambezi river plunges into a deep gorge.
