    Overview

    Royal Chundu, the "meeting place of the Chief", is a destination of absolute solitude and unspoiled beauty. Royal Chundu River Lodge features 10 beautifully scattered suites along the riverfront boasting wooden decks ensuring intimate and serene views accompanied by uninterrupted privacy. These luxurious suites gaze across the Zambezi River and peer into the neighbouring Zimbabwe picturesque landscape. Thatched roofing coupled with stunning interior furnishings echo the Zambezi hues and accentuate the surrounding natural beauty. Incredibly, Royal Chundu is perfectly positioned on a piece of untamed Africa with rapids protecting it up and downstream. The sights and sounds of Africa will completely ignite your senses and enhance the blissful solitude.

    Each suite is designed to complement the beautiful surroundings of this untouched African paradise. With Rhodesian teak hardwood suites accompanied by thatched roofing, perfect harmony is created between the lodge and the pristine natural riverine. Plant and birdlife are carefully preserved by matching elevated teak walkways that connect the suites with main areas and infinity-edge swimming pools.

    When to visit Royal Chundu

    Royal Chundu is a perfect year-round destination, as each season brings something unique to the Zambezi and Victoria Falls experience.

    At 3,540km long, the Zambezi River is the fourth-longest river in Africa and the largest that flows into the Indian Ocean from the continent. The journey begins in Zambia, moves through eastern Angola, weaves along the eastern border of Namibia and the northern border of Botswana, onwards between Zambia and Zimbabwe, before eventually reaching Mozambique, where it finds its way into the Indian Ocean.

    October is the hottest month while the chilliest time is in June. This month also welcomes shooting stars to the sky while July and August hold the promise of the Parrot Fish Run, an incredible natural spectacle to behold.

    About Victoria Falls

    Victoria Falls boasts magical scenery and is considered one of Africa’s greatest destinations. Take a trip to discover why this marvel, 30 kilometres downstream from the setting on the Zambezi River, is considered the Adventure Capital of Africa. There are so many ways to experience the largest curtain of falling water in the world – a title granted due to the Falls’ width (a hefty 1,708 meters) and height (towering above at 108 meters). Slip through the Zambezi’s ravine on a white-water rafting cruise or fly overhead in a microlight or helicopter – a chopper ride you can continue to the private helipad at Royal Chundu. Test your nerves in nature’s infinity pool at Devil’s Pool and feel the Falls’ spray on your cheeks on Zambian soil or a border hop away in Zimbabwe. Make it a full day adventure on a tour that combines several unique aspects of Mosi-oa-Tunya, so named by the Toka Leya tribe, meaning ‘The Smoke that Thunders’.
