Royal Chundu Zambezi River Lodge

Royal Chundu is a hideaway of tranquility that intertwines romance and nature with a genuine focus on community in every touch. It is only 30km upstream from the Victoria Falls, providing travellers a chance to witness or fly over this world wonder and then retreat to the privacy and intimacy of either River Lodge or Island Lodge. The larger of Royal Chundu's two lodges, River Lodge scatters 10 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 neighbouring Zimbabwe's picturesque landscape. On the private Katombora Island in the middle of the Zambezi, with only four spacious villas, Royal Chundu's Island Lodge is ideal for honeymooners or romantic getaways. The suites, splashed with cobalt blue and earthy palettes, open up onto private decks overlooking the river rapids, with outdoor bathtubs that bring great joy and pleasure to guests.
