How these benefits work

The upgrade is confirmed on arrival, depending on what is unsold that day rather than reserved beforehand. Breakfast is served daily in the restaurant for up to two guests per bedroom and is already included in the property rate. A 100 USD equivalent resort credit is applied during the stay; it cannot be combined with other offers, does not apply to the room rate, and has no cash value if unused. Early check-in and late check-out are requested in advance and confirmed on the day. These are the Virtuoso 2026 reference amenities, and whether they apply, along with the rate and cancellation terms, follows the live rate for the dates you choose.

Pick your dates and the button carries them into the live rate page; leave them empty and it still works.

Is the rate at Zambezi Queen higher when you book through FlyBest?

No. The live rate comes from the hotel's own inventory; we add no mark-up and charge no service fee. A rate carrying the Virtuoso amenities is normally the same price as the public rate for the same room, though different rate codes can differ in price, breakfast and cancellation terms, so the live rate page is what to go by before you book.

Is the room upgrade at Zambezi Queen guaranteed?

No. The directory line reads “Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability”: the hotel arranges it from whatever is unsold that day, so it cannot be locked in beforehand and a particular room type cannot be promised. If the upgrade matters for this trip, say so when you book and we will put the request to the hotel.

Can the credit at Zambezi Queen be used against the room rate?

The directory line reads “$100 USD equivalent Resort or Hotel credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)”. The credit is for on-property spending during the stay, settled on the room account at check-out, and cannot be applied to the room rate. It cannot be combined with other offers. Anything left unused has no cash value.

How is breakfast handled at Zambezi Queen?

The directory line reads “Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant (already included in property rates)”. Breakfast is already part of the room rate here.
