The journeys combine a three-night Chobe River cruise aboard the 24-passenger Zambezi Queen with immersive land experiences, including Victoria Falls and newly added destinations such as Kenya, Namibia, Zanzibar and the Skeleton Coast.

The new itineraries range from 9 to 18 nights, including ‘From the Cape to the Falls’, ‘Iconic Africa’, ‘Classic Kenya & Southern Africa’ and ‘African Wonders & the Skeleton Coast’. Each journey features wildlife viewing, cultural immersion, boutique accommodations and AmaWaterways’ personalised service.

The new itineraries include once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including penguin encounters and an optional two-night Johannesburg extension on ‘From the Cape to the Falls’ itinerary, a three-night stay in Greater Kruger National Park on ‘Iconic Africa’ and a visit to Victoria Falls and Maasai Mara reserves on ‘Classic Kenya & Southern Africa.’ While on ‘African Wonders & The Skeleton Coast’ itinerary, guests will also take in the dramatic landscapes of Namibia including NamibRand Nature Reserve and Etosha National Park.

The Zambezi Queen offers private balcony suites, an open-air Sun Deck with plunge pool, and eco-friendly design elements, including solar heating, low-emission generators and water jet propulsion.
