Chobe Princess Houseboats: A Relaxed and Bespoke River Safari on the Chobe River

Discover the Chobe Princess houseboats, an intimate all-inclusive river safari on the Chobe River with wildlife viewing, birding, fishing, cultural tours, and photographic experiences.

For travellers seeking a slower, more intimate safari experience, a journey aboard the Chobe Princess is a beautifully relaxed way to explore the Chobe River. Floating through one of Africa’s most diverse landscapes, these elegant houseboats blend comfort, privacy, and unforgettable wildlife encounters into one seamless river escape.

The Chobe Princess collection offers three houseboats with a limited number of guests on each, creating the feeling of having your own private safari retreat on the water. Two of the houseboats feature four cabins, while the larger vessel offers five cabins, with each cabin accommodating two guests in a comfortable, well-appointed space averaging 140 sq ft [source provided by user]. For travellers wanting something even more exclusive, it is also possible to book an entire houseboat for a private safari villa experience.

Each cabin is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a king-sized bed or twin beds, air-conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, an electronic safe, luxurious amenities, and either large sliding windows or sliding doors that keep the river scenery in view. With a 2:1 guest-to-staff ratio, service is personal, attentive, and tailored to the pace of each guest’s journey.

What makes the Chobe Princess experience especially appealing is its flexibility. Guests can shape each day to suit their mood, whether they want to spend more time relaxing on deck or fill the itinerary with immersive activities. Options include guided water-based game viewing, birding, fishing, cultural tours, and photographic safaris, giving travellers the chance to experience the Chobe River from multiple perspectives.

The Chobe Princess also sails on scheduled weekly departures every Monday for two nights, Wednesday for two nights, and Friday for three nights, making it easy to build into a broader Southern Africa itinerary. This combination of accessibility, intimacy, and diverse experiences makes it an appealing choice for travellers who want a refined safari without the pace of a traditional land-based lodge.
