Explore a little-known part of Africa by land and river on this unique expedition. The banks of the Chobe River boast among the most dense populations of wildlife on the African continent. From your luxurious suite on the new Zambezi Queen, embark on game-viewing cruises from small boats that allow you to get close to the elephant, lion, buffalo, giraffe, hippo and crocodile. Take a helicopter ride high over Victoria Falls — “The Smoke That Thunders” — and a one-of-a-kind elephant-back safari. Then it’s on to Lower Zambezi National Park where you’ll stay in the deluxe Royal Zambezi Lodge. See abundant wildlife and search for wild dogs as expert guides and trackers escort you on day and night game drives, walking safaris or river safaris in traditional African canoes. Join us on a luxurious modern-day expedition through these exotic lands.

DAYS 3 – 5

Chobe River Cruise, Botswana

The great Chobe River divides Namibia’s Caprivi Strip from Botswana’s Chobe National Park, and the river’s exotic banks boast one of the densest populations of wildlife on the African continent. After boarding your home for the next three nights — the luxurious Zambezi Queen — embark on the first of many game-viewing cruises from small boats that allow you to get close to the elephants, crocodiles and hippos that call the river home. When you’re not on safari, take a dip in the pool, enjoy a relaxing siesta, tour a local village by canoe or even do some fishing.
