Africa's Leading Safari Company 2024 – World Travel Awards
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. Child minding services are available at an additional cost.
Ten exclusive River Lodge suites, disguised among the riverine vegetation, radiate seclusion and tranquility. The charm and secrecy of the four spacious Island Lodge villas are accentuated by its location resting on the Katombora river-island, sheltered by gushing rapids.
River Lodge scatters ten suites along the riverfront with wooden decks ensuring intimate and serene views accompanied by uninterrupted privacy. These luxurious suites gaze across the Zambezi River and peer into neighboring Zimbabwe’s picturesque landscape. Thatched roofing and interior furnishings echo the Zambezi hues and accentuate the surrounding natural beauty. Each suite boasts 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 illuminates tranquility, exclusivity, and privacy. The well-appointed suites, splashed with cobalt blue and earthy palettes, open up onto private decks overlooking the river rapids. Refresh in the infinity pool and in the evenings relax in a riverfront bathtub - the perfect romantic getaway. Each villa boasts an en-suite bathroom, fan, air-conditioning, mini-bar, mosquito nets, safe, and luxury amenities.
River Lodge facilities include a swimming pool, kid's club, restaurant, wine cellar, cocktail bar, tv room, library, complimentary Wi-Fi, an outdoor boma for dinners around the fire, spa treatments, and a helicopter pad.
Island Lodge facilities include a swimming pool, restaurant, bar, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spa treatments.
Victoria Falls offers a variety of activities but Royal Chundu offers sundowner river cruises, birding safaris, fishing, canoeing, a Victoria Falls tour, and a village tour.
Royal Chundu is easily accessible and is the ideal location for couples and families looking for adventure and uninterrupted privacy.

Sabi Sands Game Reserve reservations made easy
Made safari reservations with Pascal John. He was very helpful as we had a specific time frame that corresponded with the rest of our Africa trip. Pascal John was professional, sent documents on time, and and with no errors. He responded via email very very quickly. We definitely recommend Safari.com and Pascal John!

Excellent, fast, helpful service
The service from Leigh-Ann has been exceptional. No matter the difference in time zone, her responses and suggestions are always fast and helpful. When we’ve asked for changes to the itinerary, there has never been a problem. Highly recommended.

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.

Mel is friendly and patient
I would usually book my trips myself. Lucky for me I sent off an enquiry to Safari.com and received Mel's wonderful help. Mel responded quickly and made me feel comfortable with Safari.com. organising my trip. Later on, when I realised my dates didn't work with the rest of my trip, Mel gave me my options and costings and rebooked for me. Mel was very patient and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mel again.

Planning Our Family African Safari Experience
Planning our first trip to Africa was a really big deal for us. After careful review of numerous safari planners, we selected safari.com and worked with Nicole Van der Merwe. There's a lot of parts in putting together such a vacation including ground transfers, hotels, activities, and flights. At each step we had numerous questions and Nicole patiently worked through these with professionalism and care to her customers. I would recommend Nicole and safari.com for anyone planning a trip to South Africa.
