Royal Chundu Island Lodge

A regal safari lodge with a noble outlook and majestic qualities, Royal Chundu luxury safari lodge is ideally placed on the mighty Zambezi River above the scintillating Victoria Falls World Heritage Site in Zambia. This is the first ever inspiring Relais and Chateaux property in Zambia and includes an island escape in the middle of the Zambezi, promising exclusive tranquillity in a wild setting. Expect top-of-the-range style and five-star service at this Victoria Falls property and listen to the roar of the waterfall as you awaken to see the splendid sunrise. 

Royal Chundu River Lodge and Island Lodge boast mind-blowing vistas of the Zambezi River, the white sprays of the falls in the distance.  River Lodge forms the attractive centre for the 10 lavish suites sprawled neatly under shady trees along the river bank. Island Lodge features just 4 opulent and large villas on Katombora Island surrounded by river rapids and inspiring wilderness outlooks, shaded by giant Baobab and Jackalberry trees. Fantastic Zambian accommodation offering the best of many worlds!

Enjoy glorious sundowners beside the fire in the traditional boma or move to the dining room for an intimate dinner with candles and an African ambience. Royal Chundu is only 30 minutes drive from Livingstone Victoria Falls creating the option of a day of adventure and exploration where you can attempt bungee jumping, white water rafting, hikes in the rainforests, game drives and helicopter flips over the Falls. Back at the River Lodge or Island Lodge, you then indulge in nature’s peace and perfection. Request pampering spa treatments in the privacy of your own room.

The magnificent Royal Chundu Safari Lodge offers two kinds of accommodation for visitors who love the African wilderness and also want to explore the magic of the Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls World Heritage Site. 

Sitting on the banks of the Zambezi River and a Relais & Chateaux property lies Royal Chundu Island Lodge. This is Zambia’s only Relais & Chateaux property, and the Chundu Island Lodge is a heavenly spot cleverly designed in the centre of the Zambezi where only 4 exclusive villas feature exquisite décor, outdoor bath tubs on private decks and in-room massages.

Design your own day from sunrise to sunset with some tranquillity on the deck, game viewing in nearby game reserves, bush walks and birding, then add a bit of zest with bungee jumping from the Vic Falls bridge, white water rafting below the Falls. Royal Chundu River Lodge is the perfect base from which to explore the very best wildlife on safari in Zambia, Zimbabwe or Botswana.
