Chobe Princess I, II & III

Relax and unwind while cruising on the Chobe River, along the banks of the Chobe National Park, observing the outstanding wildlife and birdlife from one of the three Chobe Princesse House Boats. A relaxed, intimate River Safari Experience.


THE HOUSEBOATS
With only a small number of guests, staying in one of the three Chobe Princesses is like being on your very own luxury houseboat. The entire boat can also be booked exclusively, giving you your very own private villa on the water. As you drift down the Chobe River and spot incredible wildlife scenes, you'll be able to completely relax in an intimate river safari experience.

Each houseboat has a minimum of three smaller "tender" boats for use on daily excursions that take your fancy: mark off over 450 bird species found in this wetland paradise, try your hand at landing a tiger fish, or capture Africa's unique beauty on a photographic safari. Whatever you choose to do, your day trips will be personal and flexible because you’ll be sharing the tender boats with a small number of guests. Alternatively, simply laze on a deck chair with an ice-cold drink in hand as you soak up the tranquility that surrounds you.

Each cabin on board the Chobe Princesses is tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, and each has its own private view onto the ever-changing landscapes beyond. As you lie on your king-sized bed, spot an elephant grazing on the riverbank nearby, or see a fish eagle diving for its prey. On the upper entertainment deck, a spacious lounge and bar area encourages you to take time out while there’s also a plunge pool that's perfect for a refreshing dip. After a day spent doing as you please, fall asleep with the calls of hyena or even a lion drifting through the open doors of your cabin.

Two of the 18-metre Chobe Princesses contain four cabin suites, while the third is slightly larger with five suites. Each cabin sleeps two people - either in a king-sized bed, or in two single beds if you prefer. Along with air-conditioning, cabins are fitted with mosquito-proofed windows and en-suite bathrooms with a shower, toilet and basin. Luxurious toiletries are provided for your comfort, as well as insect repellant for a peaceful night’s sleep. Hairdryers are available on request.

Upper Deck
The elevated entertainment deck provides guests with open dining, socialising and game viewing space. Scrumptious brunches and dinners are served in a relaxed atmosphere on this level. The kitchen and bar area at the rear of the vessel open out onto spacious dining and lounge areas that look onto the water, but can be closed off in the event of bad weather.
Want to cool off? Take a dip in the plunge pool before unwinding on a sun lounger with an ice-cold drink served all day from our bar. Our lounge area comes with oversized leather couches, tables and chairs that are the perfect place from which to enjoy a spot of game viewing or simply to spend time with family and friends. As night draws in, enjoy some unforgettable stargazing under a vast African sky.

Bottom Deck
The bottom deck houses the bedrooms. Each spacious double guest bedroom can be configured either as twin or double and has en-suite bathroom facilities and sliding windows opening onto the water. In order to prevent mosquitoes from entering the rooms, each window is spanned by a transparent mosquito screen.

ACTIVITIES
Game viewing by tender boat into the Chobe National Park and Caprivi Wetland area allows you to get up close and personal to the outstanding wildlife.


Bird watching is a year round pleasure with over 400 recorded species including the less common African Skimmers andRock Pratincoles. The Caprivi wetland in particular is host to an astonishing array of water birds.

Photographic Safaris on our beautiful, customized photographic safari boat
especially designed to provide keen photographers with the perfect platform to get the perfect picture.

Fishing in over 100kms of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers for tiger fish, bream and several otherfresh water species. High quality equipment (conventional and flyfishing), knowledgeable guides and excellent tender boats are all available for guest use.

Guided walks are a must on Impalila Island as they will give you an insight into the life of local inhabitants, introduce you to the stark beauty of the area and amaze you with the enormity of the Baobab trees.
