In a groundbreaking partnership set to redefine luxury river expeditions, the renowned Travel Promoters has proudly announced the addition of the Zambezi Queen Collection by Mantis to its illustrious portfolio of unique accommodations. This strategic alignment brings together the allure of adventure with the luxury of boutique hotel experiences, setting a new benchmark for high-end river safaris on the African continent.
Navigating Luxury on the Chobe River
Situated on the majestic Chobe River, which gracefully meanders between Namibia and Botswana’s Chobe National Park, the Zambezi Queen Collection offers a quartet of houseboats, each radiating elegance and an intimate connection with nature. Comprising the flagship Zambezi Queen and her three Chobe Princesses alongside the secluded Ichingo Chobe River Lodge on Namibia’s Impalila Island, this collection presents an unparalleled opportunity to explore one of Africa’s most picturesque landscapes from the tranquil waters of the Chobe.
The Zambezi Queen: A Boutique Hotel on Water
The Zambezi Queen stands as a testament to luxury and innovation. This floating boutique hotel offers a unique voyage along a 25km stretch of the Chobe River. Guests aboard the 42-metre-long houseboat are treated to breathtaking vistas of the Caprivi Strip in Namibia and Botswana’s famed Chobe National Park. With accommodations for up to 28 guests across three decks, the Zambezi Queen promises an intimate and lavish experience. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to ensure unparalleled luxury and comfort, from its panoramic lounge and bar to the sun-drenched pool deck.
Chobe Princess: Exclusive River Safaris
The trio of Chobe Princess houseboats epitomizes the essence of exclusivity and elegance on the water. Each boat, designed to host a cozy group of up to ten guests, offers a bespoke river safari experience. The warm and hospitable crew, including a captain, host, chef, and team of river guides, ensures a personalized journey through the Chobe River’s enchanting landscapes. These smaller, nimbler vessels navigate up to 50 km of the river, offering guests intimate encounters with Africa’s majestic wildlife and serene beauty.

For those seeking solitude and a profound connection with nature, the Ichingo Chobe River Lodge offers peace and exclusivity. Nestled on the serene Impalila Island, the lodge is a sanctuary for anglers, bird watchers, and anyone yearning for a retreat into the wilderness. The lodge’s air-conditioned safari tents, complete with private balconies, provide a front-row seat to the vibrant life of the Chobe River.
