The lodge is constructed in the shade of magnificent riverine trees blending with nature offering spacious rooms with wide vistas over the river into the Zambezi National Park or the banks of the river on the Zambian side. Enjoy stunning sunsets, cocktails and a large swimming pool overlooking the river.
At Chundu Island there is lots to do both on the water and on land. From Sunset cruises with snacks and cocktails to canoeing on the river, fishing, game drives and bush walks in the Zambezi National Park.
Positioned on the end of the Island, the main lodge is wrapped around magnificent trees and boasts the most incredible views of the Zambezi River. 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, idyllic sunsets, guests are spoilt for choice. Ilala palm style roofs, wooden decking, wood and double skin canvas walls, the contemporary crisp and clean style is fresh and inviting.

WINE & DINE
The dining area at Chundu allows for indoor and outdoor dining as well as different views of the Zambezi as it is separated from the main lodge by natural fauna and flora and the most magnificent tree on the island, an ancient Acacia Albida.
The bar area overlooks the main deck and is home to Chundu’s finest cocktails. Enjoy a refreshing Mojito or zesty Old Fashioned in the pool while overlooking the river and our seasonal beach. Six Dogs Gin is a firm favourite and our barman will be sure to help you make the best possible drink selections during your stay with us. Sunsets at Chundu Island are exceptionally special and we are sure you will find solace as you gaze into the evening sky.
Indulge yourself in our Wine Cellar and make a selection from a number of fine wines imported from South Africa. Sip on an aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, a crisp Chardonnay or a buttery Champagne while taking in the sights from the Pool deck. Your evening meal will find no better accompaniment than a full-bodied Merlot, robust Cabernet Sauvignon or flamboyant Pinotage.

BEST TIME TO GO
The high water period runs from February to July – this is when the falls are at their most spectacular. The low water period occurs from August to January, when the spray is less, with the geological formation of the falls most visible.
Game and wildife viewing is at its best from May through to October This makes game viewing easier because there is less foliage and animals are drawn to water holes and rivers.
Available all year round, although the water levels differ – generally a gentle, tranquil experience, it may become a little more exciting in the period from August to December when the water is lower.
