Regional cuisine is prepared by South African-trained culinary staff using fresh local ingredients with an international flair; the spacious dining room has windows on three sides for optimal game viewing as animals gather at the water’s edge. Onboard meals include early-risers’ coffee, breakfast, lunch and three-course dinner. Complimentary wine and beer are served with lunch and dinner.The environmentally sensitive Zambezi Queen meets inland water safety standards and is specially designed with a water-jet propulsion system to prevent damage to the riverbed. It is fuel-efficient with low-emission generators and features solar-heated hot water and an onboard water purification system. There is no doctor on board the boat
