safari

Now is the time for exploring Africa with AMA Waterways.  Chobe National Park is in the northern part of beautiful Botswana and is home to Africa’s largest elephant population and one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in the world. Embark on a safari of Chobe National Park on the ZAMBEZI QUEEN.

An All-Day Safari 

After a full day of exploring the park through the Chobe River, AmaWaterways takes guests along other parts of the park via open-top 4×4 vehicles (the open-tops offering a chance for optimal, unobstructed photographs). 

Each method of safari will give you a distinctive perspective and all-around feel for the park. Naturally, driving through the park allows the safari to search a wider span and more easily follow game in motion. It also gives closer consideration to the flora and fauna. The park is so massive it is usually categorized into four subdivisions. The Serondola area of the park, also known as the Chobe Riverfront, is flush with a dense woodland of mahogany, teak and other hardwoods – along with the lush floodplains near the Chobe River.  

Another fun feature of this trip is enjoying a delicious picnic-lunch served up under the trees. And you never know, perhaps a few small local guests may be seen nearby or overhead!   

While Exploring Africa on AMA Waterways discover A Rich Culture

AMA Waterways is well-known for providing it’s passengers with the cultures and traditions of the country they are cruising through.  This is especially true on your Africa cruise, where you will get to know and interact with a crew that has a rich culture and is eager to share it with you.  With a ship that only holds 28 passengers, you will have the opportunity to interact with every member of this remarkable crew.

Exploring Africa with AMA Waterways through Food

So much of how we experience a destination comes through culinary experiences and some of
the best engagement with clients comes from sharing recipes from the regions we sail.  The culinary staff on the AMA Zambezi Queen will astound you with their knowledge of the regional cuisine.

• Plenty of Potjie for Everyone – Potjiekos – this traditional South African stew cooked
over an open fire – connects family and friends with savory comfort food. The literal
translation to potjie is simply “small-pot food” and it can be prepared in numerous
ways.

Marvelous Malva Pudding  – This traditional South African delicacy forever
remains a local favorite as one bite of this pudding summons fond memories from
childhood for many in the region. When sailing on one of our Africa Safari and Wildlife
cruises, our expert chefs prepare this scrumptious treat on board.
