The five-star boat features 14 suites, each with air-conditioning and a private balcony for enjoying the breath-taking views. Other suite features include en suite bathrooms (shower only), toiletries, gowns, hairdryer and electronic safe.
Your itinerary on this voyage will include more traditional land-based safari drives as well as water safaris through the famous Chobe National Park.

The park is home to an abundant variety of wildlife, including leopards, lions and buffalo.
Boat interiors are elegant and understated in design. Enjoy first-class service from the experienced and friendly on-board team, and sumptuous meals in the Dining Room – start with a Full English breakfast in the morning, followed by a refreshing buffet lunch and a choice of dinner menus in the evening.
