The houseboat is moored at a different location each night. Two tender boats accompany the KubuQueen and these are used to explore the channels and lagoons in the area.
One of the world's finest freshwater fighting fish inhabits these waters and guests have the opportunity to go out on the tender boats to try their hand at hooking into the mighty Tiger Fish.

Nature Walks can also be conducted on some of the larger islands found along the river.
The houseboat is moored on the mainland near the town of Shakawe. It is easily accessible by tar road and Shakawe has a small international airport suitable for light aircraft.



The Okavango River's crystal clear waters are home to a variety of fish as well as crocodiles, hippopotamus and otters. They also support an abundance of bird life. Several species of bird are rare and endemic to the area. Guests to the area also have the chance to glimpse a sighting of the rare and elusive Sitatunga antelope.
