Chundu Island

Experience & Activities   

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. The contemporary crisp and clean style is fresh and inviting with ilala palm style roofs, wooden decking, and wood and double skin canvas walls. 

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 the 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. 

For the curious, consider morning or evening game drives in the park and fishing or bird walks on the island. And, when you’ve had enough excitement for the day, relax at the pool overlooking the river and park, or indulge in an in-room massage or sunset cruise with cocktails and snacks. 

Accessible only by boat, Chundu Island offers river-based activities, easy access to the mainland for game drives and safari walks, and the opportunity to visit Victoria Falls. Birding on Chundu Island offers more than 400 species of (recorded) birds.
