Guests are met by staff from the cruise boat and driven to the Royal Landing jetty on the Zambezi River for boarding. The African Queen and Princess meander slowly upstream along the length of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park looking for game on the way. A number of animals and a host of bird species can be viewed from comfortable chairs on cool wooden decks. Excellent food is served on board and the bar is well stocked with spirits, good wines, beers and soft drinks.
