Overview

Discover the luxurious Royal Chundu Lodge, nestled on a private stretch of riverbank along the stunning Zambezi River in Zambia. This family-owned retreat offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, yet is just 30 km from the breathtaking Victoria Falls and the adventure it brings. Additionally, Chobe National Park in Botswana is only 30 km away.

The Royal Chundu has 2 magnificent lodges in the bush – the River Lodge perched on the riverbank with spectacular vistas and the exclusive Island Lodge which is located on the private island of Katambura shaded by baobab and jackalberry trees. The lodge offers activities for all ages including its infinity pool, Floating Spa and exciting Chundu Children’s Club. 

Indulge in gourmet cuisine that blends local flavors with international delights, served in the restaurant, during private picnics, on boat cruises, or around a campfire at a Boma dinner, complete with local song and dance. "Chundu" translates to "meeting place of the chief," and here, guest service reflects the warmth and attentiveness of a royal chief.
