Located 21km upstream from Victoria Falls, Chundu Island is without a doubt one of the most picturesque river islands on the Zambezi River and sets the tone for a tranquil and relaxed island safari in the heart of the Zambezi National Park.

Positioned on the end of the island, the welcome area is sure to entice. The main lodge is wrapped around magnificent trees and boasts the most incredible views of the Zambezi River. Adjacent to the reception area is the Island Shop, where guests can enjoy a bit of shopping and possibly take a few curios and island treasures home.

The heart of the lodge lies in its expansive reception, lounge, bar, inter-leading swimming pool deck, and indoor/outdoor dining area. All with magnificent views and idyllic sunsets, guests are spoilt for choice. With ilala palm style roofs, wooden decking, wood and double skin canvas walls, the contemporary crisp and clean style is fresh and inviting.

There is so much to do at Chundu, making the most of the mighty Zambezi River, the stunning island setting, and of course the Zambezi National Park. For those seeking a bit of a thrill, take a walk on the wild side – walking in the National Park with an armed professional guide, looking out for big and small game – or set off downriver in an inflatable canoe, spotting elephants drinking from the banks while steering clear of inquisitive hippos and crocodiles.
