Kubu Queen Houseboat
The Kubu Queen is a privately owned houseboat operating exclusive river safaris on the Okavango River in the Panhandle of the Okavango Delta, a World Heritage Site. She is moored at her private base camp at the small village of Shakawe in north-western Botswana.
Built on the water some 30 years ago, she has a rich heritage and is well known throughout the Delta. Specialist river guide Greg Thompson restored the boat, and he and his crew have run exclusive river safaris on her ever since.
The double-decked boat cruises the upper reaches of the Okavango with two aliboats in tow for exploring the waterways.
