Ailsa and Leanne ended off 2024 with a fabulous visit to the Zambezi Queen Collection, being able to experience the incredible houseboats and Ichingo Chobe River Lodge, first hand.
It is so valuable for us to keep up to date with all our partners’ offerings and ensures we are better equipped with the knowledge to provide a deeper understanding of what our guests can expect.
They stayed at each property and enjoyed everything from boat based game viewing, tiger fishing (catch and release, of course), sunrise birding safaris, incredible cuisine, African sunsets over the river and cultural community visits to the local village.
Joined by some of their colleagues, including Andrea Schaffner (front middle), the recently appointed Sales Manager for the Zambezi Queen Collection, as well as Gareth Venner, (back right) Director of Sales & Marketing Mantis Collection, the team also enjoyed a night at Mantis property, Mbano Manor in Victoria Falls, the perfect combination!
