Discover the Chobe Princess Houseboats

Experience the Chobe Princess, your intimate all-inclusive river safari on the Chobe River, where wildlife viewing, birding, fishing, cultural tours, and photographic experiences await.

For those who desire a slower, yet immersive safari experience, a trip on the Chobe Princess presents a beautifully relaxed way to explore the Chobe River. Drifting through one of Africa’s most diverse landscapes, these luxurious houseboats offer comfort, privacy, and unforgettable wildlife encounters in one seamless river getaway.

The Chobe Princess collection features three houseboats, designed for a limited number of guests, enhancing that private safari retreat feeling on the water. Two boats have four cabins, while the larger one possesses five cabins, each housing two guests in comfortable quarters that average 140 sq ft. For those desiring a truly exclusive experience, reserving an entire houseboat for a private safari villa is also an option.

Cabins are outfitted for comfort with king-sized or twin beds, air-conditioning, private bathrooms that include walk-in showers, electronic safes, premium amenities, and large windows or sliding doors for scenic river views. With a generous guest-to-staff ratio of 2:1, attentive and personalized service caters to each guest’s pace.

Flexibility is a hallmark of the Chobe Princess experience. Guests can curate their day as they prefer, choosing to either relax on deck or engage in enriching activities such as guided water-based game viewing, birding, fishing, cultural tours, and photographic safaris, allowing travelers to experience the Chobe River from multiple angles.

The Chobe Princess offers scheduled departures weekly every Monday (two nights), Wednesday (two nights), and Friday (three nights), making it an ideal addition to a longer Southern Africa itinerary. This blend of accessibility, intimacy, and varied experiences makes it an attractive option for travelers seeking a refined safari without the high pace of a typical land-based lodge.
