Unique Chobe River Safari Experiences for Retirees
The Zambezi Queen Collection by Mantis offers luxurious houseboat experiences
on the Chobe River, situated within the wildlife-rich Chobe National Park,
at the border of Namibia and Botswana.
Our fleet includes the flagship Zambezi Queen and her three Chobe Princesses,
each providing a unique blend of comfort and adventure.
Experience the Zambezi Queen
A Luxury Floating Boutique Hotel
The Zambezi Queen is a 42-meter long floating boutique hotel, offering luxury and sophistication in one of Africa’s most remote and beautiful locations. Navigating up to 25km of the Chobe River, this elegant houseboat provides unparalleled game viewing opportunities and stunning views of the Chobe National Park.
Luxurious Accommodation:
Enjoy your stay in one of our fourteen elegantly appointed suites – ten standard suites and four luxury suites. Each suite features an outer deck, allowing you to soak in the refreshing Chobe River breeze and appreciate the uninterrupted views of the stunning landscape.
Experience the Chobe Princess
A Relaxed, Intimate River Safari
For a more intimate experience, our three Chobe Princess houseboats offer a tranquil and deluxe river safari. Each houseboat accommodates a small number of guests, providing a private and personalised safari experience. You can even book an entire boat exclusively for your group, creating a private villa on the water.
Chobe Princess Cabins have beautiful big windows that slide open to let in those ever-changing river views. Listen to the soft grunt of hippo as you watch for elephant at the water’s edge – all from the comfort of your king-size bed. Instead of sliding windows, our Superior Cabins each have their own private balcony. Imagine waking in the morning and stepping out onto your balcony facing Chobe National Park.
Exclusive and Private:
- Two Chobe Princess houseboats feature four cabins each: three standard cabins and one superior cabin.
- The third Chobe Princess has five cabins: four standard cabins and one superior cabin on the top deck.
Retreat and Relax
Enjoy the peace and serenity of the Chobe River, with opportunities to witness incredible wildlife and stunning sunsets from the comfort of your houseboat. Our all-inclusive rate ensures you have everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Flexible Itineraries
Whether you prefer to rise early with the birds or enjoy a leisurely morning, your schedule is entirely flexible. Choose from a range of activities or simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery from the comfort of the air-conditioned lounge, or your bed.
Activities
- Guided game viewing by boat
- Bird watching

Important Considerations
While our houseboats offer luxurious and comfortable accommodations, regrettably they are not wheelchair accessible. Guests should be able to navigate stairs and walk short distances.

The Zambezi Queen and Chobe Princess depart every Monday (two-night stay), Wednesday (two-night stay), and Friday (three-night stay), allowing you to choose the perfect duration for your adventure.
