On arrival at the Royal Landing, you are greeted with a cold cocktail and the sounds of the Marimba Band, a local instrument that laments the sounds of Africa. A full bar on both upper and lower deck serve a selection of cocktails, iced drinks and a variety of snacks.
The African Queen embraces both the mystery and tradition of an African way of life untouched by time. |
 Experience the grandeur of a bygone era; a time where decadent indulgence is not a rarity, but a way of life. Old world style, reborn on the waters of the mighty Zambezi river nestled in breathtaking Zambia. Embrace the opulence of privileged living and the mystery and tradition of an untouched African way of life. This is the true spirit of Africa; this is The African Queen.
