Zimbabwean Dream Review
Review of Zimbabwean Dream
CroisiEurope's Zimbabwean Dream cruise ship (2020-launched) is one of the newest houseboats on the South African river cruising market. The vessel is a houseboat-type riverboat operating Chobe and Zambezi River cruises leaving roundtrip from Kasane, Botswana. Her fleetmate is also a newbuild - the 2017-launched African Dream.

Another famous African houseboat cruise ship on the Chobe River is Zambezi Queen (chartered by AMAwaterways).
Cabins
The premium houseboat Zimbabwean Dream has max passenger capacity 18 (plus 16 staff/crew), 3 decks (1 with cabins) and a total of 8 staterooms. Of all cabins, 6 are French Balcony cabins (with floor-to-ceiling sliding windows opening to a railing) and 2 are forward-facing Balcony Suites. All staterooms are equally sized (17 m2 / 185 ft2), while the Balcony Suites have step-out verandas (forward-facing, sized 3.5 m2 / 40 ft2). All cabins are located on Main Deck and feature wall-to-wall windows.
Shipboard facilities
The Zimbabwean Dream ship has a midship staircase that interconnects all decks. All indoor spaces are air-conditioned.
Main Deck (deck 1) is the riverboat's Boarding Deck (with a starboard-midship entrance area) and the fore-located Navigation Bridge (aka Wheelhouse). All passenger cabins are also on Main Deck.
Upper Deck (deck 2) is the riverboat's Lobby Deck, housing the Reception Desk and Cruise Director's Office. Upper Deck also has the Dining Room Restaurant (midship) with an Aft Terrace (outdoor seating / alfresco dining) and the fore-located Bar Lounge. Adjacent to the Restaurant is the Galley (kitchen with drink and food storage rooms).
The midship Sundeck (deck 3) is dubbed "Chobe Space". This is a spacious Terrace (Observation Deck) with shaded seating (large umbrellas and premium garden furniture).

In addition to guests from France, CroisiEurope's African cruises attract international travelers, so all of the ship's crew are bilingual. Onboard announcements and itinerary/tour information are in English. English-speaking local guides lead all shore excursions.
Chobe and Zambezi river cruise itinerary
CroisiEurope offers an 8-night / 9-day African cruisetour itinerary program visiting Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and South Africa. All itineraries start with an overnight Johannesburg hotel stay (in South Africa), followed by a 3-night cruise on the Chobe and Zambezi rivers and a 4-night land stay (in lodge accommodation owned by CroisiEurope).
