    Responsibility towards the environment forms the foundation upon which the boats in the Zambezi Queen Collection were built:

    • We run the latest, most fuel efficient and lowest emission generators during the day. After 22h00, the entire boat switches over to the battery power through the night
    • Hot water is provided by a solar heating system on-board the vessel
    • Energy-saving lights are installed through the vessel
    • All our cleaning detergents and amenities are biodegradable
    • We use an eight-stage river water purification plant for water in showers, taps and our pool
    • A water jet propulsion system replaces the conventional propeller system causing no damage to the riverbed and/or fauna and flora
    • As part of our commitment to preserving our surroundings, we aim to leave no lasting footprint on the environment in which we operate
