Royal Chundu is situated upstream from the majestic Victoria Falls on the banks of the Zambezi River and hugs the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Encompasses two lodges, River Lodge and Island Lodge, both with kaleidoscopic views of the Zambezi River.
Children of all ages are permitted at River Lodge.
Children aged 12 years and over are considered adults and will therefore require their own suite at the applicable rates. Childminding services are available at an additional cost.
Ten exclusive River Lodge suites, nestled among the riverine vegetation, exude seclusion and tranquility. The charm and privacy of the four spacious Island Lodge villas are further enhanced by their serene location on the Katombora river-island, sheltered by rushing rapids.
River Lodge features ten suites scattered along the riverfront, each with wooden decks offering intimate and serene views along with uninterrupted privacy. These luxurious suites overlook the Zambezi River and provide picturesque views of neighboring Zimbabwe’s stunning landscape. Thatched roofing and interior furnishings reflect the colors of the Zambezi, carefully blending with the surrounding natural beauty. Each suite is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, fan, air-conditioning, mini-bar, mosquito nets, safe, and luxury amenities.
With only four spacious villas on the island, Royal Chundu’s Island Lodge offers an exquisite experience of tranquility, exclusivity, and privacy.

Easy way to find a lodge
I worked with Cearl Marney, who really took the time to consider what I was after and made suggestions for Lodges I hadn't even considered. They were all brilliant suggestions. She stayed within budget, responded incredibly quickly and put up with a lot of follow-up questions. Could not recommend working with her highly enough. She makes your life much easier!
