About Royal Chundu

Royal Chundu comprises two intimate river lodges on the Zambezi River — the River Lodge with 14 suites and the exclusive Island Lodge with just 4 suites on Katombora Island. The lodges are 30 minutes upstream from Victoria Falls, far from the tourist throng.

A Relais & Châteaux property — the only one in Zambia — Royal Chundu is celebrated for its cuisine, riverfront infinity pool, and uniquely peaceful setting. Activities include private boat cruises, tigerfishing, fishing, helicopter transfers to Victoria Falls, and game drives in nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
