The Palm River Hotel is ideally located upstream of the Majestic Victoria Falls - so close, in fact, that on a clear, quiet day you can hear the thunder and see the spray of the mighty waterfall from your room.
Located along the banks of the great Chobe River, the Zambezi Queen, offers world-class sophistication in one of the most remote locations on earth. With only 14 suites, it is as unique and adventurous as comfortable and elegant. It is unsurpassed in all aspects and the last word in Luxury African River Safaris. Here you can decide to get to be up with the birds or prefer to laze all morning watching game from the comfort of your bed. The itinerary is flexible so while there are a range of activities on offer, you can choose just how much you want to pack into your holiday or how relaxed you want to be.
