Chobe Princess Houseboat: Intimate River Cruise

Chobe Princess Houseboats

With only a small number of guests per boat, staying in one of the three Chobe Princesses is like being on your very own houseboat. The Chobe Princesses navigate up to 50km of the Chobe River, allowing guests to explore many different vantage points of the river. Each houseboat comes with a host, team of helpful staff, a skilled chef for your delicious meals,
and a talented team of river guides to provide you with the best insights and experience. Choose from a range of exciting activities from wild river safaris, fishing, birding and cultural tours on-and-off land. The entire boat
can also be booked exclusively, giving you your very own private villa on the water. Each houseboat is equipped with a relaxed open plan lounge, bar and dining area, outdoor viewing deck with loungers and a plunge pool, showcasing unobstructed views of the African landscape and wildlife.

The Chobe Princesses sail on scheduled weekly departures every Monday (two-nights), Wednesday (two-nights) and Friday (three-nights).

Best Time To Travel

There is no best or worst time to visit the Chobe area, because every month offers visitors something special. If you’re looking for a pure wildlife experience, the drier winter months from May to October see greater concentrations of game along the banks of the Chobe River. The summer months from November to April see the birdlife explode with the addition of the summer migrants to the area. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, you’ll be excited to know that we have excellent fishing through the summer and winter – it’s just that the techniques we use change.

Unforgettable Celebrations Aboard the Chobe Princesses

Two of our Chobe Princess houseboats have four cabins each: three Standard and one Superior Cabin. The third Princess is larger with five cabins: four Standard Cabins and one Superior Cabin, which is located on the upper (top) deck.

Our houseboat is perfect for hosting special occasions from weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more. Please let us know if we can assist you and your guests with any special arrangements to facilitate your celebration and create memorable moments. Please note all ages are permitted if you book the boat on exclusive use basis.
