Chobe River Cruises

“Not our first time in Africa but our first time cruising the Chobe. We’ve done road safaris before, but this was so different; there’s just something unique about the river and the serenity, plus the sunrises and sunsets are truly spectacular. Service on the cruiser was very relaxed but still excellent, and the cuisine was gorgeous. It’s much more laid back than other cruises we’ve done, so if you want to just relax with wall-to-wall wildlife and scenery, then pick this one for your next trip.”

“We actually chose this cruise because our focus was on low passenger numbers, and we wanted to go somewhere less predictable and touristy, so it was a first on many levels. The main bulk of the cruise is spent on the Chobe, but you can make it really personal; the views from the cabins are spectacular, and we had a lot of room service! We didn’t follow the guided tours at the port stops and just explored on our own, but there are many planned itineraries if that’s what you want. The boat was faultless in terms of luxury and quality cuisine.”

“This cruise was a surprise present for my partner; she’s a wildlife enthusiast and has always wanted to go on safari. I chose the cruise option because it seemed like such a good way to see nature in the wild. The cruiser was very luxurious, and the scenery and wildlife lived up to its billing. We’ll definitely be back.”

“As experienced river cruisers, we decided to take a walk on the wild side and leave Europe for undiscovered Africa. The low passenger numbers were a real bonus compared to some European cruises, and we spent more time on the vessel than usual. Having said that, the scenery and wildlife watching were truly spectacular, and the vessel’s design with all the glass meant you really felt part of the river. The cruiser was very luxurious, and the staff friendly and hospitable; it’s a different type of cruise to what we’ve experienced before, but we’ll definitely be back.”
