Wildlife & the Falls

Often referred to as Joburg or Jozi, Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa and acts as the cultural and economic hub of the country. Characterised by vibrant energy, Johannesburg offers a unique blend of cultures and experiences, featuring a modern skyline, bustling street markets, and historical sights such as Constitution Hill. Though Johannesburg has suffered challenges in its history, it has continued to take shape as a dynamic metropolis offering an amalgamation of art, history and urban exploration for its residents and visitors.

Situated on the Zambezi river at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is renowned as one of the continent's most awe-inspiring natural wonders. With a width of over 1.7km (1 mile), and a height of 108 metres (355 ft), Victoria falls is the world's largest waterfall, boasting both immense scale and breathtaking beauty. To the locals, the waterfall is better known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke that Thunders", attracting visitors from all over the globe to behold its magnificent cascades and the hair-raising view as the mist rises above the gorge.

Botswana’s Chobe is a destination in itself for those looking to experience the thrill of wildlife up close. Capture that sense of adventure with a water-based game drive by tender boat, allowing you to explore nature at its best! Water-based game viewing on smaller boats enables close-up viewing in an environment where the animals do not feel threatened.

-

Experience the gentle nature of rural Africa along the banks of the Chobe by visiting a local village on the Namibian side of the river. Here you can interact with the locals and browse their selection of handmade crafts.

During season, Tiger and Bream fishing are offered with tackle and bait as well as a stocked cool box to help ensure the wait is worth it.

With panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the boat, everywhere you go you can take advantage of magnificent wildlife viewing.

The top deck features an open-air Sun Deck complete with a plunge pool. Unlike a typical river cruise that travels from one port to the next, the Zambezi Queen was designed for an entirely different purpose—to facilitate optimal game viewing along the Chobe.
