Royal Chundu

Livingstone, Zambia

This luxurious African experience overlooks the unspoiled expanse of the Zambezi River and the Zimbabwean savanna of the Matetsi Private Game Reserve beyond. Royal Chundu is more than merely a place to rest your head. It is an adventure in itself, a private getaway on the Zambezi imbued with the spirit of Zambia. A spirit both wild and graceful. A spirit that inspires and welcomes.

River Lodge is the main hub at Royal Chundu and the larger of the two lodges. There are 10 magnificent and spacious river-front suites, each of which is thatched and opens on to private decks with uninterrupted river views. Each suite has a double shower and a king-size bed, while the lodge has a beautiful boma for outdoor evening meals and a dining room for intimate indoor occasions.

Tucked within the privacy and exclusivity of the Katombora Island and protected by the Katombora rapids, the island lodge offers guests a tranquil, luxurious and exclusive getaway. Absorb the pulse of the river from private decks and spacious rooms, surrounded by the island's unique baobabs and two thousand year old Jackalberry trees. There are 4 magnificent villas at Island Lodge and an intimate boma area for outdoor evening meals, two lounges, a dining room, and an infinity pool.
