Chobe Houseboat Safari

We offer an unforgettable safari experience aboard the three Chobe Princesses.

CHOBE PRINCESSES:

As you drift down the Chobe River, you will be exposed to incredible game viewing from several mooring points along the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers. Hop on the smaller tender boats and see wildlife from the water: a completely different experience from a game drive, as animals are more relaxed and at ease. There are three 18-meter Chobe Princess houseboats: one 5-suite vessel and two 4-suite vessels. Beautifully decorated in contemporary style, these suites make the most of their unbeatable river setting with large sliding windows giving you your private view of the ever-changing landscapes before you.
